RE: xml:output encoding as iso-8859-1 always comes ou

If the object you're trying to write into implements IStream or
ISequentialStream, you can use:

xmlDOMSource.transformNodeToObject(xmlDOMHTMLStyle, myts)

This will send an unmodified stream of bytes (encoded as you requested)
to your output stream (using IStream::Write).  Using transformNode must
first convert to a BSTR, which is a string rather than a stream of
bytes.

If you only need to do a batch-mode transformation, you can use the
MSXSL command-line tool (which handles encodings as you expect).  This
can be downloaded from http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp.

Subject:  xml:output encoding as iso-8859-1 always comes out as
UTF- 16


Hi,

I am using MSXML3 with:

<xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>

but in the output I always get:

<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-16">

However, in Saxon I get what I am expecting:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

I don't have much hair left to pull out.....

Thanks,

Neil.
