Hi,

entities such as &nbsp; ?

thanks

No it doesn't - the processor is not required to honour DOE.

 From the viewpoint of an XML parser, it's the same. Both
representations encode the same content, just in different
ways.
If you want to tell the serializer to use CDATA, check
cdata-section-elements.

The CDATA section is only for the parser, not the serialiser.
 
So the parser is not turning your CDATA into xml events or trying to
understand it at all, which means you do not need to escape the characters.
 
However, that has nothing to do with how it is output.  The serialiser
doesn't even get to see the CDATA element, the parser stripped it and
replaced it with the text you specified in side the CDATA element.
 
So now the serialiser is looking at your "&" and thinking, thats not XML, he
must mean "&amp;"
 
On the processor I use (XERCES/XALAN shipped with 2.1.5), DOE seems to work.
 
So do what I said do, enclose it in a DOE "disable-output-escaping" tag, if
you're using a standard install.

Hi Ben,
sorry for being vague ;-) I am am serialising my output to xhtml:

<map:serializer name="xhtml"
src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.XMLSerializer" mime-type="text/html"
logger="sitemap.serializer.xhtml" pool-grow="2" pool-max="64" pool-min="2">
<doctype-public>-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN</doctype-public>
<doctype-system>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd</doctype-system
>
<!--<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>//-->
<encoding>US-ASCII</encoding>
<indent>yes</indent>
</map:serializer>

I have now manages to solve the previous problem. What I cannot now
understand is why 

<![CDATA[
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a && i<a.length && (x=a[i]) && x.oSrc;i++)
x.src=x.oSrc;
}
]]> 

is being output to the browser as:

function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a &amp;&amp; i&lt;a.length &amp;&amp;
(x=a[i]) &amp;&amp; x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc;
}

I have included my xsl stylesheet or your attention

regards

Andrew

Try being a bit more specific, I still don't know what it is that you intend
to do.

I have no idea why you created a DTD for the entity.

If you want to output html by writing it inside your XSLT as you would in an
editor, without having to worry about the parser parsing it, or the
serialiser playing with it, do this:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[&nbsp; <!-- and other html
stuff -->]]></xsl:text>

The CDATA section makes the parser leave it alone, and the DOE makes the
serialiser leave it alone.

Which should have been described fully in the references I gave.

Enjoy.

Ben

Hi Ben,
thanks for your reply. I have included the following code into my xsl
template which seems to solve the problem, but introduces another one:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
]> 

When the xhtml page is generated it renders the following character to the
screen:

 

How do i resolve that?

thanks

Hi,

Handle them how?

You may find these two pages useful, that basically deal with the input and
output:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/cdata.html

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N2215.html

Pay particular attention to:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N2215.html#d3358e217

To determine when each is useful (Might as well read this first, if it
doesn't make sense, look above)
