[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] character encoding with MSXML3
 Hi xsl-list'ers,
I am creating HTML documents that are bilingual (English and French) (i.e.
using <xsl:output method="html">).
I successfully have Saxon putting out those special HTML Latin characters
(e.g. é) for my French output.
I do not have such success with Microsoft. It puts out the actual small e
acute -- what you get when you type ALT-130 on a Windows box in notepad.
Unfortunately for now, I am stuck with Microsoft's MSXML parser.
Does anyone know if there is a setting in Microsoft's parser to get it to
put out "é"? Or perhaps I am missing something in my xsl:stylesheet
declaration?
(BTW: The XSLT Test tool is a great way to quickly compare output between
different XSL implementations.

)
Thanks.
My XML (note the encoding is ISO not UTF) ---------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<dtdTest>
<ENGLISH_MENU>Client Statements</ENGLISH_MENU>
<FRENCH_MENU>Relevés clients</FRENCH_MENU>
</dtdTest>
My XSL ---------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<xsl:apply-templates select="dtdTest"/>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="dtdTest">
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ENGLISH_MENU">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="FRENCH_MENU">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
My happy output using Saxon ---------
<html>
<body>
Client Statements
Relevés clients
</body>
</html>
My less happy Microsoft output (apologies to all whose systems have munged
the e-acute below) --------
<html>
<body>
Client Statements
Relevés clients
</body>
</html>
