hi there murray again,
so as you tell me, special characters are not supported directly
from xindice. might xindice update this requirements in the future for
leting the use of those?
i'll start to work on your solutions, thanks
This isn't Xindice's problem, it's XML's problem in general. All
XML applications must deal with the legacy software and assumptions
coming from HTML, where ä was "defined" (in reality, the ability
to properly handle character entities was hardwired into the browsers,
which had no SGML or XML parser whatsoever, still don't when it comes
to handling web pages).
Like many things, when there's no definition for something it's
pretty hard to know what it is. And computers are notoriously
stupid about needing definitions.
