Dave,
What was happening was that I was sending an ASCII extended character to
the template and it was spitting out two characters, just as you suggest in
#2 below. Using both #1 and #2 has removed the problem. I, as a human, was
assuming text output so it didn't occur to me that I had to specify the
encoding to the machine. You very perceptively saw solution even though my
first post to this group was not particularly concise.
Thanks for the suggestions,

| A copy of the question:
|
| The following text is sent to the below template. I am using Xalan C++
| 1.1.0 testXSLT.exe with the -text option.
|
| A private pilot flying a magnetic heading of 185° on a VFR cross
| country flight tracking outbound on the 177° radial of a VOR above
| 3,000 ft. AGL should maintain an odd, not even, thousand ft. MSL altitude
| plus 500 ft., e.g., 5,500 ft. MSL (14 CFR Sec. 91.155).

| TEMPLATE:

| pertinent OUTPUT: .... ° ....
|
|
| I think it should not be emitting this character twice. Else am I doing
