Hi Daniel!

Forgot a question in my previous mail.

In addition to being curious of how to do this, I would like to know the
correct way of retrieving contents from an xmlOutputBufferPtr. As I
mentioned, using xmlBufferContent( outbuf, outbuf->buffer ) or
xmlBufferContent( outbuf, outbuf->conv ) lead to segfaults, so it seems that
this is the wrong approach. So, what's the correct one?

If I expclitly ask for "ascii" encoding on output, does that mean I still
have to do the xmlFindCharHandler() stuff or am I supposed to use either
method, but not both methods simultaneously.

Sorry to bother you with these questions, but it is just not obvious to me
how xmlDocDump() manages to output the entities instead of the real UTF-8
character.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Greetings,

        Holger
