The problem is that the default output encoding for
htmlhelp is iso-8859-1 and those characters are not in that encoding. But
you can use windows-1252 for the encoding with Saxon. See the "Languages
and Encoding" section of this reference:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HtmlHelp.html
You have to follow the directions and example very carefully for Saxon
processing with encoding="windows-1252", but it does work.

Subject: [docbook-apps] escaping
characters in toc.hhc
Help,
Here is the error I keep
getting when a special character is in a title element.
Error at xsl:copy-of
on line 338 of file:/D:/Tools/XSL/docbook/html/chunker.xsl:
Output
character not available in this encoding (decimal 8220)
Transformation
failed: Run-time errors were reported
This in turns breaks the
toc.hhc file and the index. When the CHM is opened the left side toc has
only a path the location where the toc broke (even thou other files build they
are not displayed in the toc), which is not necessarily the title with the
special character. When I remove the special character everything is fine
and when I add it to the escape-attr.
My source xml has the
“ and ”. I tried to modify by creating a customization
that changes the dingbat key to quot and changing the
saxon.character.representation to native but neither seems to work.
Other than adding each of these special characters to the escape-attr
template is there another way I can get the special characters to convert to the
entity instead of the decimal characters?
Thanks
in advance,
Joy
