Re: numeric entities vs. character entities

[David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM]

See:

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/usagepatterns.html#outputprops

You can create your mapping file of Unicode characters to entities and use
that for your stylesheets.

Hi,
I am using Xalan-Java version 2.3.1.  It looks to me that the html
output method outputs a character using a character entity reference if
one is defined in HTML 4.0.
Is there a way that i could ask Xalan to ouput numeric entities?  Lots
of our clients may use old browsers that don't understand character
entities standarized in HTML 4.0.

I would like to get &#8217, not &rsquo.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! THANK YOU!

:)Kelly
