RE: FM 7.2 XSLT and unicode characters
Thank you, very helpfull. Whe you say: translate Unicode characters to character entities (e.g., ccaron;) I can't get the character entitie displayed correct in FrameMaker, it either becomes a variable (with the unicode value or (when mapped in the rules file) a wrong character?

FM 7.2 XSLT and unicode characters
Thnak you. one question: if you say - does this mean that the whole target XML will be in ASCII or only the 'changed' parts? What effect would this have on other unicode characters that we don't want to convert? And: can such a XSLT also be used on export of XML to transform the ASCII back to Unicode without loss of data?

Wim, Make sure your r/w rules specify FrameMaker character codes rather than Unicode character codes. See the online character sets manual for specific values. --Lynne Lynne A.

Re: FM 7.2 XSLT and unicode characters
Wim, I would take a look at the XSLT 2.0 'character-map' statement. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#dt-character-map for details. It was designed to handle this sort of problem. You will need to run the XSLT transform using an XSLT 2.0-compliant processor. Note that FrameMaker 7.2 provides an XSLT 1.0-compliant processor. This is reasonable, since XSLT 2.0 has not yet been finalized by the W3C. Using xsl:choose to test for the presence of multiple Unicode characters is problematic. When any single xsl:choose test evaluates to 'true', subsequent tests are not invoked. Also, you are likely to want to translate Unicode characters to character entities (e.g., ccaron;), and the translate() function will only map to single replacement characters. Javascript should not cause any problems, as long as XML special characters in the Javascript are escaped in the result of the transformation. (e.g., '' must be represented as 'lt;'). -Alan Wim Hooghwinkel (Scriptware) wrote: Hello all, I am trying to create a XSLT template to transform uncode characters to ansii on import of XML in FM.
