>Hi,

>I am newbie in xsl. I hava a problem I really need your help. I use 
>this XSL style sheet to transform one XML file as follows:
>
><?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
><xsl:stylesheet
>      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>      version = "1.0">
>   <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="ISO-8859-1" indent="yes" 
>omit-xml-declaration="no"/>
>
>   <xsl:template match="*">
>     <xsl:copy>
>       <xsl:copy-of select = "@*"/>
>       <xsl:attribute
>  	       name="id"><xsl:call-template name="object.id"/></xsl:attribute>
>       <xsl:choose>
>         <xsl:when test="child::*">
>           <xsl:apply-templates/>
>         </xsl:when>
>         <xsl:otherwise>
>           <xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
>         </xsl:otherwise>
>       </xsl:choose>
>     </xsl:copy>
>   </xsl:template>
>
>   <!--

>   <xsl:template name="object.id">
>     <xsl:param name="object" select="."/>
>     <xsl:choose>
>       <xsl:when test="$object/@id">
>         <xsl:value-of select="$object/@id" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
>       </xsl:when>
>       <xsl:otherwise>
>         <xsl:for-each select="ancestor-or-self::*">
>           <xsl:value-of 
>select="concat(generate-id(.),'Ps',position())" 
>disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
>         </xsl:for-each>
>       </xsl:otherwise>
>     </xsl:choose>
>   </xsl:template>
>
></xsl:stylesheet>

>It works ok for me except that I need to keep all the data 
>unchanged, for example:
>
><?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
><!DOCTYPE root [
><!ENTITY amp	"&#38;#38;"> <!-- AMPERSAND -->
>]>
><root>
>  <data>Hello world</data>
></root>
>
>generate:
>
><?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
><!DOCTYPE root >
><root id="1">
>  <data id="2">Hello world</data>
></root>
>
>But:
>
><?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
><!DOCTYPE root [
><!ENTITY amp	"&#38;#38;"> <!-- AMPERSAND -->
>]>
><root>
>  <data>Stand &amp; Hardy</data>
></root>
>
>generate:
>
><?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
><!DOCTYPE root >
><root id="1">
>  <data id="2">Stand & Hardy</data>
></root>
>
>This cause that the next transformation based on this XML results 
>fails. Because the ampersand entity has been translated.
