HTML encode on a XSLT

I would like to convert some value from a XML attribute into valid HTML with entities. So that for example the string "olá" from the XML would be transformed from the XSLT into "olá"

I can't find any xsl function to do this.开发者_开发百科 Any ideas ?

You can specify us-ascii encoding in xsl:stylesheet element. The following XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:output indent="yes" method="html" encoding="us-ascii"/>

    <xsl:variable name="data" select="'olá'" />

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:text>olá - </xsl:text>
        <xsl:value-of select="$data" />
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

gives:

olá - olá

The xml method in xsl:stylesheet gives the same result with the standard XML heading.

I´m pretty sure you´ll find this template useful: Download this xslt and check the one called "url-encode-num" http://advanced-internal-onebox.googlecode.com/files/obox_stylesheet.xslt

It transforms any special character... Well, any of the ones listed here with their numeric encodings:

<xsl:variable name="latbis">¡¢£¤¥¦§¨©ª«¬­®¯°±²³´µ¶·¸¹º»¼½¾¿ÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×ØÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõö÷øùúûüýþÿ"&lt;&gt;=</xsl:variable>

But is easy to update.

Let me know if this is what you were looking for.
