xml/xsl with international characters
hi, i'm trying to create an application that will take an xml document
containing html escaped international characters (ie á) and transform
it to html. however, i get an error message about the escaped characters.
does anybody have an idea how to get around this issue.
thanks
ben

The two things "xml document" and "html escaped characters" are a
contradiction :-)
XML doesn't know about á and the likes. You could use a DTD that
defines these to their corresponding numerical character entities (those
of the form ' ' which is in html-speak.)
