Re: WG: [xslt] decimal char problem - possible Solution

[Marco Stipek <stipek triplex de>]

Proposal for sollution:

As far as I know the standard allows a decimal encoding.
So I think the feature "choosing encoding type" could be added.
Maybe in the common way things are done in libxml/libxslt with a
global var int decimalencode (TRUE|FALSE).


encoding.c:2267 and potentially in entities.c(711)
if ( decimalencode == 1)
{
   sprintf((char *) charref, "&#x%X;", cur);
}
else
{
    sprintf((char *) charref, "&#%d;", cur);
}
