I am trying to use XSLT text output to generate a file (in a file format that I do not control), and although it is mostly text, it includes non-standard low-order characters in the form of flags, including characters that are not allowed in the XLST file (in according to XSLT specification).
I would like something like below to work, but instead it is not a valid XSLT file, as it contains characters that are not allowed in XSLT files:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="US-ASCII"/>
<xsl:template match="/"></xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I get the following error:
[Fatal Error] :4:35: Character reference "" is an invalid XML character.
ERROR: 'Character reference "" is an invalid XML character.'
FATAL ERROR: 'Could not compile stylesheet'
I also tried with the actual character 1 with or without the CDATA section, xsl: text elements, xslt-2 character maps, several different encodings, but I cannot figure out how to get the ascii character with binary = 1.
, .
XSLT?
