HI All,

I am generating a XML output using WORD 2003 XML based on styles
(i.e.) Using Saxon 8

Following is my XSLT

================================================== ==============
1st - Method
<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="no"
indent="no" />

To generate a html file to get accented characters like &aacute; etc.. in the out put but it results UTF-8 (code - Unicode) [ón] etc..

also I tried using xsl character mapping.

2nd - Method
<xsl:import href="iso8879map.xsl"/>

But it generates the same output.

================================================== ==============

Any help would be appreciated

Use encoding="us-ascii" in the xsl:output declaration.

Dear Kay,


Used XSLT:
---------
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="2.0">
<xsl:import href="iso8879map.xsl"/>
 <xsl:output method="html" encoding="us-ascii" />
  <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Result:
-------
<para>Los lactantes y los ni#241;os peque#241;os

Query:
------
Required Output.

<para>Los lactantes y los ni&ntilde;os peque&ntilde;os

Any help would be appreciated

The W3C specs don't give you this level of control over serialization. I'm not sure why you want it - the two forms are exactly equivalent. I thought that Saxon would use a named entity rather than a numeric entity here, but it seems not. If you really care, you can force use of a named entity in Saxon by

 <xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" saxon:character-representation="entity" xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/"/>
