 1) The pre-defined entities in an XML document are found here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#syntax 2) Either: <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> £<xsl:value-of select="data/premiumAmount" /> </body> </html> </xsl:template> Or, if you think you will use it more than once... <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY pound "£"> ]> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> £<xsl:value-of select="data/premiumAmount" /> </body> </html> </xsl:template> Etc Rgs, Ben -----Original Message----- From: Richie B [mailto:richie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 18 December 2002 17:52 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Using HTML entity codes within XSL? Hi, I'm trying to do something like the following in XSL: <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> £<xsl:value-of select="data/premiumAmount" /> </body> </html> </xsl:template> I'd like to output HTML character entities to a browser, so that the browser will render the correct character internally, independent of the user's set-up, rather than having to use something like a pound symbol "£" for the Latin-1 character set - but I obviously get an error if I try to use "£" within the XSL ("Reference to undefined entity 'pound'."). The solution at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/characters.html says to specify the character set, but this would defeat the purpose, and also systems aren't required to understand any encodings other than UTF-8 and UTF-16. Is there a way I can, in some form, use something like "£" or another character reference (such as "é") in my XSL without specifying a specific character set/number to use? Also, I've noticed I can already use certain codes such as "&" and ">" - is there a list of defined codes which can be used in XSL? Thanks, Rich XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
