[dm-l] Character reference conversions: help?

[Peter Baker]

Dan,

If you process the file with an XSLT script that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version = '1.0'
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
     xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
 
<xsl:output method="xml" doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 
Transitional//EN"            
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"/>
 
<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
 
 
</xsl:stylesheet>

then your entities should all get converted to UTF-8 automagically.
