Hi Jelle, It's not a complete answer but not all special characters need encoding. Actually ë is valid UTF8 even I think (137 <<< 255 == 2^8 -1 !!). Make sure that your encoding tags are properly set in the files (utf8/iso 88 ...). I've generated a whole book with cocoon last year, with special characters/graphics and all, no problems! Characters like ŗ with values over 255 have to be encoded, the rest doesn't necessarily.

The thing is that my original xml file has escaped characters like ë or ë After going through cocoon it arrives as the ascii 137 character (ë) not the escaped code. This is not valid HTML or XHTML or XML, and what's worse, I can't run the resulting XML through cocoon again, it will translate "ë" into "ë". Puzzled I am. Any clues? disable-output-escaping doesn't help.
