Dear All,

I have two questions to be discussed

Question 1.

I am writing an XSLT to convert the following UTF characters:

Input: Following is a Greek input
μακάριος


XSLT used:

<xsl:import href="iso8879map.xsl"/>

<xsl:output method="html" use-character-maps="iso8879" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="no" />

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Output:
&mgr;&agr;&kgr;&aacgr;&rgr;&igr;&ogr;&sfgr;


But, following is my required output - hope i need to make few modification in the above XSLT.

Required Output:
μακάÏιος

Any help would be great full.

Also, the original text that show above in the"Input" Greek characters was original converted from following normal text

<greek>mak&alphaacute;piow</greek>

My second question follows
Question 2

Is there any way in XSLT to directly convert as follows:

Input:
<greek>mak&alphaacute;piow</greek>

Output:
μακάÏιος

What you posted as the "required output" looks like the gibberish you get when an UTF-8 or maybe UTF-16 encoded document is decoded with an 8bit encoding like ISO-8859-1 or Windows-1252. So I am not sure I understand what you want to achieve.
If you want to convert a string of characters to a sequence of integers with the Unicode codepoints of the characters then XSLT/XPath 2.0 offers http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions...-to-codepoints.
