I have a proccess in place to convert files.
  1. convert CSV to XML using XML::Writer
  2. convert XML to HTML using XML::XSLT.
Now a file with a character 'ÿ' is creating problem. It's reported Char: ÿ (04377, 2303, 0x8ff, file FF) under emacs.
I have my headers set for UTF-8 in XML file. Converting CSV to XML is not posing any problem, but converting it to HTML gives the message " .Error while parsing:not well-formed at line 13 , column 54, byte 498" which is this particular character..

Are there problems with XML::Writer or am I missing something else?

Thanks,
artist
