[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Using HTML entity codes within XSL?
 Hi,
I'm trying to do something like the following in XSL:
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
£<xsl:value-of select="data/premiumAmount" />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
I'd like to output HTML character entities to a browser, so that the browser
will render the correct character internally, independent of the user's
set-up, rather than having to use something like a pound symbol "£"
for the Latin-1 character set - but I obviously get an error if I try to
use "£" within the XSL ("Reference
to undefined entity 'pound'."). The solution at
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/characters.html
says to specify the character set, but this would defeat the purpose, and
also systems aren't required to understand any encodings other than UTF-8
and UTF-16. Is
there a way I can, in some form, use something like "£" or another
character reference (such as "é") in my XSL
without specifying a specific character set/number to use? Also, I've
noticed I can already use certain codes such as "&" and ">" - is
there a list of defined codes which can be used in XSL?
Thanks,
Rich
