AW: [xml-dev] suppression of the transformation of character entities in XSLT?

["Sascha Pogacar (XPECT MEDIA)" <sascha.pogacar@xpect-media.de>]

Mike,
I use msxml 4.0 as XSLT processor. 
The pitty is that I get the basic xml with the old HTML characters.

Probably i have to run a preparse on the xml to replace the html
charachters with the named entities like ’ instead of ’ would
this help?

Thanks for your help 

best
