Hi Martin, sorry, that you have to wait so long, but I have not much time at the moment.
I think there are 2 possiblities. Either IE and Excel 97 could use XML, so the Transformer could not transform it to the HTML-entity. Or you set the encoding of the output file for instance to ISO-8859-1, the output method the to html and disable the output escaping. <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output encoding="iso-8859-1" method="html"/> <xsl:template match="address"> <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="."/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Hope this helps, Joerg Martin Mauri wrote: > Hi Joerg, > > I'm kinda newbie with escape characters, so what would you suggest me to do > with my problem? > Look I have to show the content of the following tab in an XSP page: > > <address>blablabla<address> > > Ok, now, some characters inside "blablabla" have escape characters like > "o"(~). > And as I said before I have to render the content into HTML through an XSL > stylesheet, what should I do to disable the output escaping characters? > > thanks in advance, > > Martin > > >>disable-output-escaping is bad coding when creating tags with it.
