Re: RE: Â / em dash bug?


But what I don't get is this, of the 3 entity references that I have in the 
DTD:

<!ENTITY eacute "& # 2 3 3 ;">
<!ENTITY quot "& # 3 4 ;">
<!ENTITY emdash "& # 1 5 1 ;">

The only one I'm having a problem with is the emdash.  Compounding my 
confusion, when I just process the XML with XSL/JSP and serve it straight up 
-- no problem.  But, when I use JSP to save the chunk of data as a file, I 
get an  character preceding every em dash.

It's drivin' me nuts!
