Hi All,

I have difficulty in retaining the french accented char in my XSLT 
transformation text mode.




I just ran your example on Saxon 6.5.5 and it all displayed fine (I 
assume with "accented" here, you meant the c-cedille in the the word 
frangaise). I tried Saxon 8, which displayed fine too. With "displayed" 
I mean that the output was encoded in ISO-8859-1 (or similar, like 
cp1252, which has the c-cedille at the same codepoint).



What exactly is your difficulty? Does some text editor view your content 
incorrectly? Do you see another character, a question mark, or none at 
all? Do you try to view it with a browser (like Internet Explorer)? In 
the latter case, try switching the codepage in the browser, under the 
"view" menu.



When viewing your output, make certain that you "view as" ISO-8859-1, or 
you will see the wrong characters. In XMLSpy">XMLSpy and Eclipse (and others) 
you can select what codepage to use for viewing your file.
