When i using the external character map file using in my XSLT. we have facing some unwanted places also changed into the entity.

In the below coding element level and attribute value "id" have "-" changed into &hyphen".

I dont want to change that occurence. Please suggest.
For Example:

<level id="ACLPP_DPAR.SGM_ACLPP.DPAR.1&hyphen;1" leveltype="para0" toc-caption="1.1 SCOPE OF RULE BOOK" subdoc="true">
<glp:note><blockquote><hrule />
<p>
<text><inlineobject type="image" attachment="web-server" filename="leg1.gif" /> Legislation cited in [1.1] below. LawNow subscribers click through for daily updates and historical versions.</text><text>&nbsp;</text>
</p>
</level>

MY XSl:


<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:docinfo="http://www.lexis-nexis.com/glp/docinfo"
xmlns:leg="http://www.lexis-nexis.com/glp/leg"
xmlns:fn="fn"
xmlns:ci="http://www.lexis-nexis.com/ci"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="2.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" indent="yes" use-character-maps="mdash" omit-xml-declaration="no"/>

<xsl:include href="Functions.xsl"/> - Charmap XSL

Required XML:

Retain hyphen as a keyboard char '-'.

<level id="ACLPP_DPAR.SGM_ACLPP.DPAR.1-1" leveltype="para0" toc-caption="1.1 SCOPE OF RULE BOOK" subdoc="true">

Thanks and Regards,

I don't know why you are using character maps (you haven't explained). But they can't be used selectively. If a character is changed using a character map, then it will be changed everywhere it appears.
