RE: Character 150 withs Windows-1252 output

Andrew,

If you are using MSXML (I'm glad to hear we are not the only MSXML users)
the encoding will be controlled by the ASP/VB or whatever programming
language you are using.

MSXML seems to ignore <xsl:output encoding=" Windows-1252" method="xml"/>

We find we have to set the encoding in the processing code [Response.Charset
= "ISO-8859-1"] and then for good measure replace the UTF-16 declaration at
the top of any MSXL parsed result [Response.Write Replace(objXSLProc.output,
"UTF-16", " Windows-1252")]

Messy but until MSXML allows for setting the encoding it seems the only
option.

P.S we actually use ISO-8859-15 as you can't assume everyone uses windows ;)

Why is it that #150 gets escaped when using Windows-1252 output
encoding when it should contain that character?
