Re: [xsl] non-breaking white space coming out incorrectly

[Wendell Piez <wapiez at mulberrytech dot com>]

Switch IE5.5 to Unicode and it'll look okay. To elaborate on Mike's 
explanation, your output doesn't contain the string "Â ", it contains the 
correct character -- only since the tools you're using aren't recognizing 
the character set, they're botching the display. (Hence we see this "Â " 
thing alot, which makes it a FAQ. You'd be seeing it even more if you had 
any other characters in "upper ASCII".)

You can select the character set for IE manually under the View/Encoding 
menu....

Many XSLT processors can also output other character encodings besides 
Unicode (UTF-8/UTF-16), if you need to do that.

Cheers,
Wendell
