Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Windows Help Files: Output character not available
I was having this problem (see also http://sources.redhat.com/ml/docbook-apps/2001-q4/msg00234.html), where switching encodings only broke something else, so I decided to use translate() to change the pesky characters in the .hhc file (mdashes and ndashes in this case) with a translate(). The only place the you need to remove the characters is in the .hhc file. In htmlhelp-common.xsl, change several instances of this: <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><LI> <OBJECT type="text/sitemap"> <param name="Name" value="</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space($title)"/> To something like this, adding/changing the translate()s so they take care of the characters that are causing problems in the encoding you want to use: <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><LI> <OBJECT type="text/sitemap"> <param name="Name" value="</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="translate(translate(normalize-space($title),'—','-'),'–','-')"/> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you want to more than a simple character substitution/removal (for example, if you want to replace the TM symbol with the letters TM), then you'd have to call string.subst instead: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/lib/lib.html#string.subst David > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephan Wiesner [mailto:stephan@stephan-wiesner.de] > Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 8:58 AM > Cc: docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org > Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Windows Help Files: Output character not > available > > > Thanks Jirka, > it works when I use > <xsl:param name="htmlhelp.encoding">ISO-8859-1</xsl:param> > and ® (The R in a circle), not with ™ (the TM > sign), though. > I can live with that, though. > > Stephan > > Jirka Kosek wrote: > > Stephan Wiesner wrote: > > > > > >>The encoding for my document is ISO-8859-1 and if I remove > the trademark > >>sign it works.
