When I'm using the DocBook XSL stylesheets to convert the respective
document to XHTML, the code shown above results in the following HTML code:

... <p><a id="d0e213">If you want to encrypt/decrypt mail messages only,
you can skip this section and jump over to </a><a href="#enigmail"
title="Enigmail">the section called Enigmail</a></p> ...

The double quotes around the word "Enigmail" cannot be displayed with
Internet Explorer ... and AFAIK they are not HTML-compliant.

This issue is probably a difference between the text encoding used to write the file and what your browser is expecting to see.


For instance, if your HTML document is written in utf-8, but your browser is expecting an ISO-8859 encoding (e.g., ISO-8859-1), then non-ASCII characters are going to be misinterpreted.

So take a look at the initial xml declaration in your HTML file, e.g.,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

and in IE go to View -> Encoding and set it to match.
