Subject: DOCBOOK: Re: Spanish Text
/ Jamie Smedsmo <jsmedsmo@gis.umn.edu> was heard to say: | I just recieved a Docbook XML document in Spanish. I'm trying to | transform the document to HTML with SAXON, as I do with the English | documents, but it has trouble with the extended ascii characters as | follows: | | <.xml c:/docbook/docbook-xsl/html/mdp.xsl > getstarted-howto.html | Error at byte 248 of | file:/C:/cygwin/home/Administrator/mapserver_docs/getstarted-howto_es.xml: | Error reported by XML parser: bad continuation of multi-byte UTF-8 | sequence (code: 0x74) | Transformation failed: Run-time errors were reported | | I know that I could have the author replace all the offending | characters with entity references (á), but I don't want to do | this unless it's necessary. Is there any alternative? Yes, the document is probably in ISO Latin 1, try adding an explicit encoding declaration to the top of the file: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?> Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | More men become good through http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | practice than through Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | nature.--Democritus of Abdera
