Hi, I transform xml in textile with delimiters (e.g. semicolon). Some files have special characters which Saxon “doesn’t” understand or “can’t transform”. I get the message "Output character not available in this encoding" Is there a way for Saxon to ignore them or can I replace them? I'm using Saxon 8.7.1. Here’s the stylesheet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method = "text" encoding="ISO-8859-1" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="product"> <xsl:call-template name="product"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="product"> <xsl:for-each select="description"> <xsl:call-template name="description"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="description"> <xsl:text>0188;</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select = "."/> <xsl:text>;</xsl:text> <xsl:text>&#xD;&#xA;</xsl:text> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> and a sample xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <product number="123"> <description>engine with &#946;-wheels</description> </product> Thank you for your help.
