I am building a CSV file from an XML source file using XSLT. The end file
needs to contain a british pound sign. In the XML source file the £ sing is
encased in a CDATA section. I need to make the CSV file ISO as opposed UTF
otherwise common viewers such as excel will not read the information in the
CSV file properly.

If I parse the file with ISO selected as the output my parser wont let it.
If I use UTF, it's fine but then no one can view the file properly with
"standard" tools.

Any ideas?

Some tools support <xsl:output method="text" encoding="iso-8859-1"/> to use Latin 1 as the serialization for a text file.


That should give you what you need, but a processor is not obliged to support it.

I hope this helps.
