Re: Another question on ÄäÖöÜü
Marc,
I am afraid it's the way it is : XT XML output method is only supporting
utf-8 as documented on XT main page...
Note that the XML document is strictly equivalent.
The HTML method, by contrast is supporting other encodings (ISO-8859-1)
and is also transforming special characters into entity references which
have a predefined meaning for HTML but none for XML in general.
If it's really blocking for you, I can provide you with a special XML
Output Handler supporting other encodings (which is not exactly what you
mean).
