  • 1.  nbsp symbols in XHTML output

    Posted 01-14-2009 16:49
    I am writing documentation using object oriented tags for lists of classes
    and methods. In the XHTML output in Internet Explorer, all of the areas
    where there are   or   in the XSLT appear as the following symbol,
    . This does not happen in Firefox. Is this a common problem? Is there
    an easy solution to remove the symbols? I am using DocBook 5.0, Saxon, XEP.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    The problem is probably with your web server configuration. See the section "Odd characters in HTML output" here:
    http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SpecialChars.html

    If you're using Apache, you can either edit httpd.conf to change the config for AddDefaultCharSet or try add the following line to a file named .htaccess (create it if necessary) place from which you serve up your content (e.g. ~username/public_html):

    AddDefaultCharSet UTF-8
