Hello,

I have a web form that that takes input from a user and then creates an
XML file from it. The problem is that from time to time "bad"
characters (meaning characters that an XSLT parser will choke on) are
inputed and it breaks the system. What sort of error checking can I use
to where it will screen out any character the XML parser won't like,
before it gets to that stage? The system tends to chock on really weird
formatting that comes out of Microsoft Word when people copy+paste
words/phrases that Microsoft has underlined as being misspelled. Anyone
know of a good error checking mechanism? Thank you so much!
