Hello, I'm in the process of changing a web site over to xhtml. All the pages are generated by XSL. So it would seem that changing the xsl:output method from html to xml, plus throwing in the proper doctypes, would do it, eh? But the following issues are driving me crazy, and I can't glean any really simple clean solutions from the FAQ. 1. Outputting character entities. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to output "©" (in attributes) and other numeric entities. &#169; is unchanged, © becomes the (c) character itself. For instance, I want to output exactly this sequence of characters: <meta name="copyright" content="© 2003"/> 2. Forcing a close tag for elements Mozilla, Opera and IE choke on <script/>. Textarea is another one. The trick to do "<script><xsl:text> </xsl:text></script>" seems like such a hack. Is there a better way? 3. html namespace attribute. Consider this: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <xsl:call-template name="headers"/> </head> </html> All the elements that the template headers inserts get an extraneous xmlns="" attribute. What is the best way to deal with that? Thanks.... XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
