 I'm fairly new to XML and am trying to generate an HTML file from XML/XSL. ... If I load the xml file (which references the xsl) from within IE6 the " " is displayed as I'd expect (whitespace). However, when using the Microsoft .NET XslTransform, outputting to stdout and redirected to a file I get an ASCII character of value 0xff in the file. Sounds like the processor is not conformant. What I'd really like is to get the unencoded " " in the file so that it looks like typical HTML. Section 16.2 of XSLT says this is optional and one cannot request that it be that way or not: "The html output method may output a character using a character entity reference, if one is defined for it in the version of HTML that the output method is using." I've tried "&nbsp" but it comes out unchanged. Right ... as it should. If this is possible I'd really appreciate some pointers. I would point to fixing the non-conformant behaviour and not trying to change something that is already working. On a similar note, is there some escape mechanism such as "\ " or "& " (I realise those aren't valid). But you shouldn't be trying to escape it as it isn't text, it is markup. No such method exists. I hope this helps. ...................... Ken
