RE: How to output trademark character in standards-co

Sorry, that should be:

<xsl:output method="html" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"/>

Subject:  How to output trademark character in standards-compliant mode

I am trying to output the trademark character, TM. I had originally encoded
this as &#153; and it displayed correctly.
Both my XML and XSL files are encoded in ISO-8859-1. My XML parser is
MSXML4.
 
However, because I want the browser to run in standards-compliant mode, I
added the following to the stylesheet:
 
<xsl:output method="html" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN" doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"/
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd> >
 
After I did this, the trademark character no longer displayed properly.
 
I realize that &#153; is undefined in ISO-8859-1 because it reserves values
127-159 for control characters, so I tried to encode this using hexadecimal
notation &#x2122; as well as decimal notation &#8482;
 
Is there a way to display the trademark character when the browser is
running in standards-compliant mode?
