I am trying to use libxslt to transform an XML file that contains non-ASCII

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?
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:
<xsl:output encoding="HTML" .../>
This is non-standard, though. You can also set the output encoding to "ASCII",
but this will produce numeric character references like "£".
