My apologies for missing the obvious (dec 160 is hex a0). I shall be more FAQtual next time. I may have a hint about what the problem is. I got the a character with an acute accent (á) when I tested   or   with Saxon 6.1 and msxsl on DOS. I supposed this is because DOS uses the IBM code page 437 character set (same as IBM code page 850). An a with acute (á) is decimal 160 in 437/850. An nbsp in 437/850 is decimal 255 so that given a stylesheet with: <!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "ÿ"> ]> and then applying: RAPIDS<xsl:text> </xsl:text>MI<xsl:text> </xsl:text>49501 with output encoding of iso-8859-1 yields the result: RAPIDS?MI?49501 You can't tell, but those are NBSPs. Why it only works with iso-8859-1 and not UTF-8 baffles me. The result makes me assume that what Michael Beddow said is correct: >Check the character encoding of your output html document (or the >default encoding settings) of your browser. Looks like your browser >may be using an encoding in which 0xA0 doesn't map to a non-breaking >space. There are some around. I tested this on IE 5.5 using UTF-8 which, with both   and  , performed as advertised. I believe when Ha Tran determines what character set is in use by his browser or other environment, he will be able to clear up his problem.

In HTML browsers,   was equiv to nbsp, but in a XML char ref (Unicode) its 00A0. Try: <!ENTITY nbsp " "> or <!ENTITY nbsp " ">. Didn't test but should work. As mentioned already this week (and in the faq for this list)   _is_   'cause xao is 10 x 16 + 0 = 160.
