Preserving entities?

[D. Alvarado]

Hi,
I cannot seem to preserve my XML entities when I transform to HTML. For example, I want to transform a document containing

ā

and I would like that exact string to appear in
the resulting HTML. Unfortunately, during the
XML -> HTML, the "ā" gets
converted to an actual character. When I tried using

<![CDATA[ā]]>

the following was in the HTML file

&amp;#257;

What is your advice regarding how to preserve
these entities?

Much thanks, - Dave

% For example, I want to transform a document containing % % ā % % and I would like that exact string to appear in % the resulting HTML.

Try adding

encoding='ISO-8859-1'

as an attribute of the xslutput element.

In your xsl:text or xsl:value-of that is actually writing out the value in question, add the following attribute : disable-output-escaping="yes".
