RE: [docbook-apps] nbsp symbols in XHTML output

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

Subject: [docbook-apps] nbsp symbols in XHTML output

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 &nbsp; or &#160; in the XSLT appear as the following symbol, Â .  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!
