Hi, Don't ask why I'm doing this; I'd rather not say. :-) Running this XProc: <p:declare-step xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" version="1.0"> <p:serialization port="result" method="text"/> <p:input port="source"> <p:inline> <doc>Hello bullet: •</doc> </p:inline> </p:input> <p:output port="result"/> <p:wrap name="wrap" match="/" wrapper="wrapper"/> <p:escape-markup name="escape-wrapped-contents"/> </p:declare-step> I am getting: <doc>Hello bullet: •</doc> As you can imagine, I'd like to see an honest bullet (U-2022) in the results. By commenting out the 'escape-markup' step I can see my bullet makes it through to that point. I am using Calabash inside oXygen 15.2. What am I doing wrong? Any hints?
