Subject: Re: [docbook] invalid characters for ISO-8859-1 response
Converting the output type to US-ASCII gives me what I want, except
for the <?xml?> declaration line (and content-type meta tag, which
need to be IS0-8859-1
This:
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="US-ASCII" indent="no"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"/>
Gives me this (correct):
<h2 class="title"><a id="accounts"></a>Chapter 4. Accounts</h2>
But I don't want this line at all (throws IE into "Quirks Mode"):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
And this should be IS0-8859-1
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=US-ASCII" />
