Re: illegal character

[Oleg Tkachenko]

Not sure, that's some control character, "Device Control 3", but certanly it's 
illegal charcter in xml 1.0 document (afaik, it's legal for xml 1.1).

Dear Oleg
your right, the apos is ok.  but I could have swore
the apos was causing the error before.  However, I got
this error in one of the transformation.  do you know
what character &#x19 is?

FOP generates an error when it encounters an
illegal
character such as the apostrophe "'".  Where can I
find a list of illegal characters that FOP does
not
accept?  I need to replace the illegal character
with
their numeric entity reference.
What is exactly the error? Apostrophe is not an
illegal character at all, but 
as it's used in xml markup to delimit attribute
values, it's kinda special.
And you don't need numeric entity reference, because
&apos; is predefined 
entity. See xml spec for more details:
