Hi guys!
Hope you had a nice week-end!!!
I tried to take the meta stuff out and only put an xsl:output element, and I now have something like this in my xsl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding=" ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output
method="html"
encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select=".//RR_row"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
Which generates this HTML file
<html><body><p><i><b>AEBI PHILIPP, Assoziierte(r) Professor(in)</b></i></p><p>Festkörperphysik</p> <p />
<p style="margin-left:36.0pt"><i>Publications</i></p><p style="margin-left:72.0pt">A. Züttel, Ch. Nützenadel, P. Sudan, Ph. Mauron, Ch. Emmenegger, S. Rentsch, L. Schlapbach, A. Weidenkaff and T. Kiyobayashi, "Hydrogen sorption by carbon nanotubes and other carbon nanostructures",

Does this look better?
And about the double escaping, the problem is that these are saved as is (“) in the database (via a web application). So the problem seems not to be with the transformation... But I still don't understand why these 'caracters' are displayed correctly while querying the data directly from the web application, and not while displaying the html generated from xml in a browser.
