    referencing ↑ in Xslt

    Hi,

    I need to use the ↑ character in an Xslt file, but I get an error :

    Reference to undeclared entity 'uarr'.

    Is there a way to reference the character ↑ in Xslt?

    Thanks for your help,

    Have you tried ↑ instead?

    Hey Anthony,

    Sebastiaans solution works perfect for me.

    This should also work, though a little long winded

    <xsl:variable name="arrow">&amp;uarr;</xsl:variable>
    <xsl:value-of select="$arrow"  disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

    Hi all,

    If you really want to use the name instead of the character reference, you can do it like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
    <!ENTITY uarr "&#8593;"><!-- Define character to use for "uarr" entity -->
]>
<xsl:stylesheet
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:etc="...all the other namespaces..."
>

    <xsl:template match="/">
        I would like to point upwards here... &uarr; </xsl:text>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

    /Chriztian
