Re: [xslt] Use character entities to represent non-ASCII characters
Hi Nick, You are right. I didn’t notice that our output element specified HTML as the output method but UTF-8 as the encoding.. Changing the encoding to HTML fixes the problem. So libxslt is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. Now I have to figure out why JAXP is ignoring the encoding spec. Perhaps the app is somehow overriding the encoding specified in the stylesheet. Is there a was with libxslt to override the output encoding specified by the stylesheet?

Re: [xslt] Use character entities to represent non-ASCII characters
Hi Nick, Thanks for the quick response. Specifying HTML as the output type does not cause libxslt to generate ASCII with character entities for non-ASCII characters. I am porting an existing XML-based app from JAXP to libxslt. The app's existing tests expect character entities because that is what JAXP produces for HTML output. I was hoping to avoid updating the tests for libxslt.

If the output encoding is UTF-8, there's no reason not to output non-ASCII characters as UTF-8 (unless you're talking about non-ASCII characters in URI attribute values). Setting the output encoding to "HTML" should do what you want: This is non-standard, though. You can also set the output encoding to "ASCII", but this will produce numeric character references like "".

[xslt] Use character entities to represent non-ASCII characters
Hi, I am trying to use libxslt to transform an XML file that contains non-ASCII characters to an HTML file. Other xslt processors, such as JAXP and Xalan, replace non-ASCII characters with their character entity equivalents, e.g., £ -> However, libxslt simply outputs the UTF-8 rendition of the non-ASCII character. Is there a way to get libxslt to output the equivalent character entity instead?
