[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: RE: Xalan-J2 outputing extra META tag in HTML
 I also had complaints about the META tag added to HTML output upsetting some browsers, so there is an option in Saxon to suppress it. I handn't noticed that the spec is silent on the default encoding for HTML output, but yes, it seems it doesn't specify what the default should be. (For XML it specifies UTF-8 or UTF-16).
