Hi!
In my output file entities are getting converted into as per the encoding
specified in the <output> element but I don't want to change the enties. Is
there any encoding value, which will convert it into as desired output.

INPUT
“ ” – —

OUTPUT  (encoding="iso-8859-1")
“ ” – —

OUTPUT  (encoding="iso-8859-1")
" "  

DESIRED OUTPUT
“ ” – —

You can't (without extensions or post processing) but why would you want
to....?

Sometimes this requirement is to work around another problem which is
best fixed at source...
