This could offer a possible workaround. Let me first state that I cannot simply do: echo htmlspecialchars_decode($proc->transformToXML($doc)); If I were to do that, then it would assume that all of these encodings need to be decoded; which definitely is not the case. I only want to do this for a few of the encodings, which I will know before the XSL processing. I guess I can do some processing after it went through the XSL Processor to decode some of the encodings that I do not want, but that just seems like it would add a lot of unnecessary overhead if it can be avoided. Thanks for the idea though. -Logan -----Original Message----- From: Tijnema !
