you cant do this in XSL.. XSL doesnt define that entity reference..

But since an XSLT stylesheet is just an XML document it is not uncommon to add entity declarations to the start of the stylesheet:

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet
[
<!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
<!ENTITY copy "&#169;">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" ...

Then you can use   in your stylesheet. The other declaration above is for the copyright symbol. The example is excerpted from our training material stylesheets.

you may want to use <xsl:text>&#x20</xsl:text> to output space.

That is no different than <xsl:text> </xsl:text> except that your example is not well-formed because of the missing reference-end delimiter ";".

I hope this is helpful.
