[xsl] How do I preserve a &#xnnnn; character reference between transfor mations?
Subject: [xsl] How do I preserve a &#xnnnn; character reference between transfor mations? From: Graham Hannington <Ghannington@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2002 22:10:05 -0000 |
I've read the Special Characters FAQ, and I'm still stumped. I'm trying to insert a right-facing triangle into a PDF, using FOP. First, I use one stylesheet to transfrom XHTML with class attributes into XHTML without class attributes. Second, I use another stylesheet (Xhtml2fo.xsl) to transform the previous result into FO. Third, I use FOP to convert the FOP into a PDF. One thing I want to do in the first stylesheet is to transform this: <span class="symbol">|</span> (yes, that's a vertical bar) into this: &x#25B6; (the UTF-8 right-facing triangle) Both stylesheets specify: <?xml version='1.0' encoding="utf-8"?> and <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" indent="no"/> I'm using MSXSL to perform the transforms. I expect to be able to specify something like this: <xsl:template match="span[@class='symbol']"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="text()='|'">▶</xsl:when> ... </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> but, in the PDF, this produces a # (hash character) where the triangle should be. And the output from the first stylesheet shows a single character (I think a Greek "alpha" character) when I view it in Windows Notepad. The second stylesheet successfully inserts • (bullet) characters into the FO, which appear correctly in the PDF. How can I make the first stylesheet insert ▶ so that it also appears correctly in the eventual PDF? Graham Hannington XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
