More on this below and next week. First, let me make a few comments about the concerns of the original author: I don't think that XSLT processors are intended to do comparisons of graphic image1. I want to validate the @picfile value is equal to entity name and tiff images must be equal to the actual images file name on the image folder. content unless it has been translated into an appropriate XML vocabulary by some external utility. Don't forget that by the time an XSLT transform operates on your data, entity information has been translated. Again the XML parser has already operated on any entity references. Note: if the2. In the XML file we are using named entities eg:- ´ instead of { or ģ in XSLT how to find if the XML file contains entities other than named entities? document is encoded in UTF-8 a codepoint may have been properly encoded for transmission and subsequently processed by the parser into the appropriate codepoint. There are a lot of different codepoints that have different effects that are similar to NBSP and ACUTE is implemented in many different scripts in Unicode. If you restrict the encoding in the XML document then the parser will complain3. How to find non-ascii characters in the XML file and report an error using XSLT. appropriately for you and you don't have to write any XSLT. Are you referring to one of the many Unicode codepoints that4. How to find double enters in the XML file and report an error using XSLT. resembles the symbol some people associate with enter? There is an "ENTER SYMBOL" (U2386). Some people have used a downwards arrow with its tip point leftwards (such as occurs on the keyboard) [either U2936 or U21B2 would perhaps be feasible for this graphically]. --------------------------------------- My work the past few years has dealt with concerns about the use of Unicode in a variety of messaging environments. Articulating a representation of the metafication yield for the codepoints (Articulated Representation of the Metafication Yield - ARMY and ARMYXML) requires care. Both ARMY and ARMYXML are XML vocabularies that represent the information about the use of Unicode in documents (using UTF-8) (either a Unicode stream or an XML document that uses UTF-8 encoding). Both are XML vocabularies that allow XSLT, XQuery, XPATH, and even Schematron rule sets to analyze the result of a processor that produces either representation for a document that uses UTF-8. The processors (ARMY and ARMYXML) presently support Unicode 5.0.
