RE: Native char, not entity representation?

[Jay Burgess]

Thanks for replying, but I don't understand your answer.  My output 
encoding is 8859-1:

    <xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
As I said in my previous email, I need something like "�" instead of 
"&pound;".  As far as I know, "�" is a valid character in the 8859-1 
character set (decimal 163), so I'm not sure what changing the encoding 
would do for me.  It seems that because my output method is HTML, Xalan is 
automatically turning it into the entity "&pound;".

Since Saxon has the ability to do what I need, I was hoping that I could 
accomplish the same thing with Xalan.

Native to whom? Unless the character is in the encoding, there is no
"native representation". If it is, simply use xsl:output to specify that
encoding, and everything should work as you intend.
