This is the code I now have which as mentioned outputs in HTML as °
not °:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY nbsp " ">
<!ENTITY deg "°">
<!ENTITY amp "&">]>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan";
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:call-template name="degree"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="degree">
<xsl:param name="text" select="."/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($text, '°')">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text,'°')"/>
<xsl:text>&deg;</xsl:text>
<xsl:call-template name="degree">
<xsl:with-param name="text"
select="substring-after($text,'°')"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
