[xsl] Using HTML entity codes within XSL?
Subject: [xsl] Using HTML entity codes within XSL? From: "Richie B" <richie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2002 17:52:21 -0000 |
Hi, I'm trying to do something like the following in XSL: <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> £<xsl:value-of select="data/premiumAmount" /> </body> </html> </xsl:template> I'd like to output HTML character entities to a browser, so that the browser will render the correct character internally, independent of the user's set-up, rather than having to use something like a pound symbol "£" for the Latin-1 character set - but I obviously get an error if I try to use "£" within the XSL ("Reference to undefined entity 'pound'."). The solution at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/characters.html says to specify the character set, but this would defeat the purpose, and also systems aren't required to understand any encodings other than UTF-8 and UTF-16. Is there a way I can, in some form, use something like "£" or another character reference (such as "é") in my XSL without specifying a specific character set/number to use? Also, I've noticed I can already use certain codes such as "&" and ">" - is there a list of defined codes which can be used in XSL? Thanks, Rich XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
