How do I recode an XML document in XMLSpy to use entities
I have a rather large XSLT template which contains bilingual text (national characters in UTF-8). I am looking for a function that will recode all CDATA elements inside to use XML # entities, allowing me to store the XSLT as plain US-ASCII encoding.
Here is a basic example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>Soirée</test>
where é is encoded as C3 A9. The desired output would be
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<test>Soirée</test>
where é corresponds to the codepoint for 'LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE' (U+00E9). Changing the encoding preamble on the first example results in an error as the UTF-8 bytes become invalid.
Is there a simple way to do this or do I have to resort to a macro?

"Changing the encoding preamble…": Yes, the declaration is descriptive (what is), not prescriptive (what to make it). You should be able to let a tool or library write the encoding declaration based on the encoding it was directed to use. So, "how" is the question but for XML Spy, I don't know the answer. (Of course, you could use an XSLT on your XSLT file.)

For now I am using an XSLTcopy @*|node()with an output encoding ofUS-ASCII.
