You can read the XML spec for some hints, or check some other publishing systems, like DocBook. > i have some ideas like > > 1. writing the umlauts in unicode (so creating a pdf via fop will cause > no problems) > 2. writing them in tex-style like "u or "o an exchange them later in > every xsl-file > 3. using extra-markups like <uml></uml> 4. Use a proper encoding declaration which matches the actual encoding of the file. For example, most platforms setup for a german language environment use ISO-8859-1, and usually editors use this as the default encoding. Placing <?xml version="1.0" encodign="ISO-8859-1"?> at the beginning of each XML file (XSLT is XML too) allows you to use native encoded umlauts. 5. Use numerical character references, for example ” for ö. You can place any unicode character in any XML file which has an encoding which is a superset of ASCII. The Unicode consortium has convenient tables for lookin up characters online at http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html 6. Get a DTD with entity definitions for some characters, like a stripped down DocBook, or the HTML definitions (from http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html) and use the aliases defined there, for example ö for ö.
