RE: writing   to html files using XSL

 For MSXML, we had to use:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>

A bit cumbersome, but we put it in a template in an imported stylesheet:

<xsl:template name="nbsp">
   <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

and the text required to generate &nbsp; is abbreviated to:

<xsl:call-template name="nbsp"/>

Subject: writing &nbsp; to html files using XSL

                                            
 Is there any way to write out &nbsp; to an 
 html file from XSL. I have blank <TD></TD> 
 tags which are rendered ok in IE5 but do   
 look right in Netscape Navigator. I tried  
 <td> &nbsp; but XALAN errors out with a    
 "Entity not defined..." msg.               
                                            
 Thanks in Advance
