The first line of your xml file should be something like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> If you include the encoding information in the first line of the file (and the file is correctly enconded, of course), any decent xml parser will work. I use it everyday with xml.dom.minidom without problem with spanish characters. Regards. José L.
