 Thanks for the help, Chris. You're quite welcome. Yes, the URIs are interpreted by the Web Server/Web browser but I need them to be generated correctly by the XSLT processor -- to comply with the HTTP-standard (e.g. no white space in URLs). Is there a way to achieve this? I'm afraid that now I'm confused. I thought you said that the XSLT processor *was* handling special characters correctly, by hex-escaping them? (Mike Brown's message had a very nice, more detailed, description of the process.) If you want the URLs escaped in a standard way (hex-encoded UTF-8 octets), use the HTML output method and an intelligent XSLT engine (this is what I thought you were already doing). If you don't want the URLs escaped at all, don't use the HTML output method; generate XHTML using the XML output method (and maybe then massage the content back into HTML, if necessary). If you want the URLs escaped but in a non-standard way (e.g., hex-encoded ISO 8859-1 octets), you'll need to handle it yourself, either by a named recursive template (see Jeni Tennison's site for some hints) or by a call out to a function library. I hope this helps. If not, please give an example again of (a) the unencoded URL (e.g., to borrow from Mike's example, "http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/foo.pl?greeting=¡Hola!"); (b) the encoding you're getting now; (c) the encoding you'd like to get; and (d) the XSLT engine you're using. -Chris -- Christopher R.
