trouble with german characters

["Weiler, Frank" <FW...@KBV.DE>]

Dear Xalan-Developers !

I tried out Your Xalan-work and find it very useful. But there are some
problems with version 1_0_1,
which I have to download because the 1_1-version-Zip-file ever unzips with
an error.

When outputting the contents of an attribute that contains german special
characters to an attribute on the result tree, the output isn't what I
expect.

Example (both the xml as the xsl file has the encoding="ISO-8859-1"
attribute in <?xml...?> set)

xml-data:

<kapitel code="1" bezeichnung="Abrechnungsfähige Leistungen, Gliederung und
Struktur" oid="1EH000DK0000QG0"/>

xsl-template:

<xsl:template match="kapitel">
<LI>
	<OBJECT type="text/sitemap">
		<param name="Name" value="{@code} - {@bezeichnung}"></param>
		<param name="Local"><xsl:attribute
name="value">html\<xsl:value-of select="@oid"/>.html</xsl:attribute></param>
		<param name="ImageNumber" value="1"/> 
	</OBJECT>
</LI>
</xsl:template>

html-output:

<LI><OBJECT type="text/sitemap">
<OBJECT type="text/sitemap">
	<param value="1 - Abrechnungsfähige Leistungen, Gliederung und
Struktur" name="Name">
	<param name="Local" value="html\1EH000DK0000QG0.html">
	<param value="1" name="ImageNumber">
</OBJECT>
</LI>

As You can see, at first the charakters in HTML-output aren't correct, I
expected: Abrechnungsf&auml;hige .
At second the order of the attributes of the first and third param-tag isn't
as expected first name="" and then value="".

I use the commandline-tool for the transformation, running on JDK 1_3 on
WinNT 4.0 Servicepack 5.

I hope, You can help me with my problem and (if it is one) fix the bug.

Greetings,

That is not enough, as it describes the INPUT encoding.

I guess you did not specify that you want HTML output in Latin-1 
encoding (see xsl:output in the spec). So what you got is XML in UTF-8.



Ciao, Jürgen
