I'm generating an HTML page from an xml page. Here's some code.

What I want to happen is to have the '�' characters in between the <H1></H1> tags get converterted to escape characters so that the HTML page will display them correctly, and I want the characters such as '�' and '�' in the <META> tags to be outputted as they appear so that search engines will pick them up. What happens is all the charaters get escaped and so my page header shows up right when I open the page in IE, but this means that the words in the meta tags are all messed up.
How can I make my xsl escape special characters that are not part of the MetaTags template, and leave the characters in this template alone?
