Hi,

while writing a program using XML files, TXSLPageProducer and TWebBrowser, I
encountered the following problem:

The XML file contains language specific characters in tag contents and
attribute values, such as german ä, ö, ü. Since XML does not understand the
normal HTML entities such as ä I used ä etc.

TXSLPageProducer takes this XML file and a XSL stylesheet to produce
(X)HTML. In the resulting HTML text the entities from the XML file (such as
ä) are replaced with the german letter ä rather than copying the entity
"as is" to the HTML text.

When displaying the HTML text in a TWebBrowser component, these letters are,
depending on the machine running the program, displayed correctly as ä or
replaced with some ugly and non-readable text portions. I could not find out
the differences in the installed IE or msxml.dll so I don't understand the
behavior.

How can I solve my problem? Why does TXSLPageProducer replace the &...;
entities with the original letter? Why the different behavior of TWebBrowser
on different machines?

Thx
Andi
