Hi Vivek,

if you wan't to use UTF-8 or UTF-16, you have to use an editor which supports it.
Simply setting the encoding declaration to "utf-8" or "foobar" doesn't change the
encoding of the document (unless your editor is very smart).

Regards,
Markus

Betreff: 	 Missing byte-order mark problem

Hi Folks,

For last two days I was struggling with a problem of applying a XSL stylesheet to XML that had Danish characters (using entities like ø etc.). The output=HTML was working fine but when I tried to get text output I kept getting "Missing byte-order mark". I tried it with encoding of UTF-8 as well as UTF-16, it did not work. Finally I found a listing on google from this group from way back in 2002 http://www.xslt.com/xsl-list/2002-02/msg00675.html and it suggested to use encoding="iso-8859-1" and walla...it worked.
This is just for your information if anyone gets frustrated with similar problem.
Thanks
Vivek
