Transforming XML to HTML: how do I replace ' with '

vasudevadas · 08-17-2007, 05:49 AM

Hi all,

I am transforming XML data into XHTML using XSLT. Pretty standard stuff. Some of the data in my XML document contains apostrophes, which have been appropriately escaped as "'". But I do not want this escape sequence to appear in my output HTML, because "'" is not an escape sequence in HTML. Firefox does seem to translate the sequence back to an apostrophe anyway, but Internet Explorer does not, and this matters.

I would have thought this must be a standard thing that people must deal with, but I am having trouble finding the answer to my question by Googling. Can anybody help? The solution must be implemented in XSLT 1.0 btw.

Thanks all.

What happens in MSIE if you set the DTD to be XHTML transitional?

Hi -

This link has what appears to be a fairly simple workaround:

<xsl:output method="html"/>
