My source documents use UTF-8 encoding. If, when editing a document, I enter an "unusual" character (say the "?" character) by selecting it from XXE's Latin-1 supplemental character menu, and then run a transformation on the content using the XXE process commands, the character is replaced in the transformation results by "??". The transformation I am using has UTF-8 specified as the encoding of the XSL document itself and as the output encoding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" indent="no" encoding="UTF-8"/> . . . </xsl:stylesheet> and in fact, if I look at the transformation results generated by Saxon, they seem to be OK - it's only after loading back to XXE that the extra character appears. I'm running on Windows 2000 with Sun Java 1.41_04. Best regards -------------- Kevin Flynn Birdstep Technology www.birdstep.com Mobile: +47 93433942
