RE: Collapsing run-on tag chains not working in saxon

I finally saw my last post show up :-)

Now what do you think of that? The tool's article was dated September 2001,
btw.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnxml/html/
msxsl.asp

To be honest, I didn't know of the utility until today, when I entered the
thread that Richard started.

Cheers,

Even without that switch you mentioned? Interesting.

But I'm most interested in what happens in IE where MSXML is invoked without
special arguments. Last I checked, it showed the error.

That's because it's coming out in UTF-16 (which it is allowed to). Set your
output encoding to something else and you won't get those double-wide
characters (UTF-8 works fine).
