Re: Prob with encoding

  If i put a xsl:output encoding="ISO-8859-1" then the output appears
  with a ISO-8859-1 declaration but the chars are all wrong.


That doesn't give us much information. 
posting what output you get from an input of  <x>Caracterizagco"</x>
might give people a clue.

A system is allowed to ignore the encoding hint of xsl:output and do its
own thing. Saxon desn't do this though so long as saxon is actually
doing the serialisation. If you are using a java API to pass some
in-memory output to some other process and it is that process that is
writing the final file then it is quite likely that the encoing hint on
xsl:output will be ignored.
