Hi Nick,

You are right. I didn’t notice that our output element specified HTML as the 
output method but UTF-8 as the encoding.. Changing the encoding to HTML fixes 
the problem.

So libxslt is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

Now I have to figure out why JAXP is ignoring the encoding spec. Perhaps the 
app is somehow overriding the encoding specified in the stylesheet.

Is there a was with libxslt to override the output encoding specified by the 
stylesheet?

Regards,

Paul

It works for me:

$ cat t.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform<http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform>">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="HTML"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<p>£</p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
$ xsltproc t.xsl t.xsl
<p>&pound;</p>

Note that the output *encoding* must be set to "HTML".

Nick
