Re:  How to read the encoding of an XML document
James,

At 05:00 PM 10/24/01, you wrote:
My XML document has a specific encoding.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 <document>data goes here</document>

What XSL do I use to read the value of the encoding attribute?

You can't. It's not an attribute. (And it's not in a processing instruction. It's in the XML declaration, which is formally not part of the document, but only helps the parser know what to expect.)


Why do you want to know the encoding? Someone might have another approach to the problem.

Cheers,
Wendell
