We do something similar here - the XML files have "~nbsp"
(or another entity) in them. After processing, those
"~nbsp"'s are in the HTML file. After the XSLT is
processed, a substitution is made on the HTML file. I have
a simple Python script that acts as a "wrapper" - it runs
the XSLT in a system call, and then runs the substitution
on the HTML file. The added processing time on it is
minimal.
If anyone has a better solution, I'd be glad to hear it.
Mike
