£ problem

[arst06d]

Hi
Using xsl to transform xn xml document, and need to have the UK sterling £ symbol appear in the resulting html.

Have tried the literal, <xsl:text>, &pound;, &#163;
I either get an error in the browser, or it displays as "?".

Have a similar problem with &#8211;

encoding is UTF-8

Any ideas, please?

I assume the XSL document's encoding itself is already set to UTF-8. What is your xslutput encoding set to?

If it's UTF-8, you should be able to just put the pound character in the XSL file like any other Unicode character.

Also, what are you using to edit your XSL? Make sure it knows how to write UTF-8 files.

Hi
Found the solution:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping='yes'>&amp;pound;</xsl:text>

Cheers
