Re: Non-breaking space won't display properly in one instance
According to Visual Studio's Help on ASCII Character Codes, Chart 2, ASCII
code 143 is Ã
. Anyway, following is a portion of the template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<info xml:space="preserve">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="Letter">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Header"></xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</info>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Letter/Header">
<xsl:value-of select="Date" />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Provider ID:<xsl:value-of select="ProviderId" />
<br />
<xsl:value-of select="Name" />
<br />
<xsl:value-of select="Address1" />
<br />
<xsl:value-of select="City" />, <xsl:value-of select="State"
/> <xsl:value-of select="Zip" />
<br />
<xsl:value-of select="Country" />
<br />
<br />
<!--<xsl:apply-templates select="/Letter/Overpayments"/>-->
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
In this case, I'm wanting a space between the State variable and the Zip
variable, ala "City, State Zip". It works fine on this machine, but displays
as "City, StateÃ
Zip" on the other machine.
The XSL is created by parsing HTML form letter templates created within an
HTML editor control, replacing placeholder tags with <xsl:value-of
select="xyx"> and </xsl:value-of> tags and replacing all occurrences of
with since the transformation process can't handle .
Just prior to mailing out a batch of these form letters, the DB is queried
for the pertinent information, which is returned in XML format. The data is
then transformed into a series of individual HTML files which are
subsequently read in and converted into PDF format before being sent to a
printer in the mail room for output. All of this is accomplished within a
.NET 2.0 solution. The HTML output isn't intended to be viewed in a browser;
we're merely looking at it to verify the format of the letters are correct.

Re: Non-breaking space won't display properly in one instance
Well, the guy who was having problems with it came up with a solution. It's
not exactly efficient, but at least it works. Every place where a space is
needed between data fields, he has inserted the following statement:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> </xsl:text>
If that's all it takes, I'll modify my code that creates the XSL to use this
statement everywhere a space is required.
