To all,
Sorry my first message got scrambled.
I thought I had this working but seem to have a problem in Oxygen 11 using Saxon 6.5 in that the nbsp entity is not being recognized in the stylesheet. Works OK if defined in the XML instance. What am I doing wrong?
The XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The XSL<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [<!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">  ]>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
