degree symbol from wordml
I am trying to output a degree symbol from wordML.
It is entered in word as the symbol "Alt+0176" ASCII (Decimal).
Which in WordML translates to:
<w:t>°</w:t>
Now, I was hoping to see:
<w:t>°</w:t>
And catch it with...
<!ENTITY deg "°">
So what do I do now?
Is the trick putting the right encoder in the serializer?
Or create a template that matches "°" and replaces with "°"?
Or is this a question for the XSL list?
TIA
Linc

This is the code I now have which as mentioned outputs in HTML as &deg;

<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:call-template name="degree"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="degree">

(Please keep responses to the list even if Cocoon users list might not
be the best list for this topic.)
First your XSLT is parsed by an XML parser and the entity ° gets
resolved to the character reference ° which gets resolved to the
character °. So for the XSLT processor it is actually translate(.,'°','°').
Second I can not really explain the difference in behavior of
serializing ° and the non-breaking space character (to which gets
resolved). Both are HTML 4 entities [1]. I'm not aware of any special
entities in the XSLT spec. So it might be just an XSLT processor behavior.
Third, do you have a problem with °? It should also work.
Fourth, the correct way of writing a entity reference to the output is
by escaping the ampersand: &deg; This is now not parsed to one
character °, but to 5 characters &, d, e, g and - guess what - ;. You
can't do this replacement with the translate function anymore but you
have to switch to a recursive template [2].

Just that (but with a semi-colon at the end: °) should be
sufficient. But you say you have the ° already in the WordML. Why do you
want to handle it at all in your XSLT? What's wrong with <w:t>°</w:t>
compared to <w:t>°</w:t>?

Lincoln,
I think this is XSLT related and you may find your answer here :
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7150.html#d10368e49
Anyway you will know how to match it in pure xslt :)
Baptiste.
