Hi Folks, The Saxon documentation says this about the unparsed-text() function: unparsed-text($href as xs:string?, $encoding as xs:string) --> xs:string? Arguments $href xs:string? The URI of the text file to be read $encoding xs:string The encoding to be assumed for the text file As I understand it, if the file pointed to by $href is encoded as Windows 1252 and $encoding has the value "Windows-1252", then Saxon will input the Windows-1252-encoded text and convert it to Unicode, right? In other words, Saxon takes the input text and uses $encoding to inform Saxon of the text's encoding, and then converts the text to equivalent text that is in a Unicode encoding scheme, right? What character encoding schemes does Saxon support? Can Saxon convert Windows 1252 text to Unicode? What else? /Roger
