Hello everybody, just to inform you: I stumbled across a problem with the version of Xalan (2.5.2) shipped with Cocoon 2.1.3.
I get an error when transforming files containing an entity reference in an "alt" attribute of a "img" tag (see stacktrace below). I suppose that this occurs for any attribute of any XML tag. I tried several versions of Xalan. The problem does not show up with the releases prior to 2.5.2 as well as the latest CVS snapshot. org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Failed to execute pipeline.: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Attempt to output character of integral value 252 that is not represented in specified output encoding of .
