Hi,
I have a question about using character entities in xsl - specifically
I've seen previous posts about this, but I couldn't find a resolution (sorry
if this is a dupe).
Here's the setup - my xsl is pretty simple:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" />
<xsl:template match="*|/"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()|@*"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<HEAD/>
<BODY>
<H1> Some text</H1>
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When I run this through a xslt processor (I'm using saxon 5.2), I get the
following error (I didn't attach the xml, I think its irrelevant in my
example):
D:\thinclient\src\html>java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet req.xml sample1.xsl
Fatal error reported by XML parser: reference to undeclared entity (found
"nbsp"
)
URL: file:/D:/thinclient/src/html/sample1.xsl
Line: 16
Column: 13
Error preparing style sheet
reference to undeclared entity (found "nbsp")
So I change the nbsp in my xsl to #160, and all is well. The processor
converts #160 to nbsp, and my html is what I expect.
My question (finally) is:
Am I required to use #160 instead of nbsp in my xsl? For some reason, I get
the feeling that I can set the character entity set
<!ENTITY % HTMLlat1 PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1//EN//HTML"> %HTMLlat1;
and take advantage of <!ENTITY nbsp CDATA " ">. This way I don't have
to change nbsp. Am I way off the mark here? Could someone post an example,
or shed some light?
Thanks
- Jerry
