How do I recode an XML document in XMLSpy to use entities





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I have a rather large XSLT template which contains bilingual text (national characters in UTF-8). I am looking for a function that will recode all CDATA elements inside to use XML # entities, allowing me to store the XSLT as plain US-ASCII encoding.



Here is a basic example:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>Soirée</test>


where é is encoded as C3 A9. The desired output would be



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<test>Soirée</test>


where é corresponds to the codepoint for 'LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE' (U+00E9). Changing the encoding preamble on the first example results in an error as the UTF-8 bytes become invalid.



Is there a simple way to do this or do I have to resort to a macro?

  • "Changing the encoding preamble…": Yes, the declaration is descriptive (what is), not prescriptive (what to make it). You should be able to let a tool or library write the encoding declaration based on the encoding it was directed to use. So, "how" is the question but for XML Spy, I don't know the answer. (Of course, you could use an XSLT on your XSLT file.)

    For now I am using an XSLT copy @*|node() with an output encoding of US-ASCII.
