I found this page today while trying to find the proper way to add a copyright symbol ( © ) with XSL. Copyright Symbol Webpage is simply a good reference to how and why to use the copyright symbol.
Here’s a snippet on how to use it in XSL
Unicode Copyright Symbol – Programmers, please NOTE:
Unicode is required by modern standards such as Java, XML, ECMAScript / JavaScript, CORBA, WML, LDAP etc.
Pretty much all of the questions about Copyright Symbols for standards that use Unicode will require the © input. however, this may differ such as for XSL as listed below. We have tried to collate what we can for you – if you can’t work out the answer from here…keep on searching – and please write to us with any information that you think would be useful on this site.
Java Script / JSP Copyright Symbol
In Java use the unicode © or © to get the copyright symbol. One common mistake is typing the © into the code, which will not work.
XML Copyright Symbol
In XML use the unicode © or © to get the copyright symbol.
XSL Copyright Symbol
If you were to use the ‘©‘ entity with XSL, you may well come across the complaint of “Reference to undefined entity ‘copy’.”
In XSL always use ©
Any XML file uses UTF-8 by default and can include the actual symbol, not an entity.
Good point Joe.
thx for the xsl(t) one…
