Hi!

I am making slides using xsltproc and dbslide slides-full.dtd + xsl.
These slides are in french with characters like "éàè..."

xsltproc complains:
xsltproc --nonet --catalogs slides-2.0/xsl/slides.xsl show.xml
show.xml:52: error: Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !

How do I indicate the encoding?

The alternative I use it to write &eacute; instead of é, &egrave;
instade of è and so on...

I have tried <slides lang="fr"> with no success.

Greetings.

Philippe.
