encoding fails

<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<rss version="2.0">
   <channel>
      <title>Aftonbladet
&#246;jesliv</title>
   </channel>
</rss>

I try to extract the title element from the above. But the
encoding is not
recognised. What i get is this:
Aftonbladet öjesliv

here is the code that gets the item:

xmlChar * content_ptr = xmlNodeListGetString(_doc,
cur_node->xmlChildrenNode,
0);
if ( !std::strcmp((const char*)cur_node->name,
"title") )
		{
		    int len = std::strlen((const char*)content_ptr);;
		    char * t = new char[len+1];
		    std::memcpy( t, content_ptr,  len);
		    FeedInformation->feedContents()->title = t;
		}

advice much appreciated,
thank's,
Greger

What do you mean the encoding is not recognized? That looks
like a
perfectly valid result. &#246; is U+00F6 LATIN SMALL
LETTER O WITH
DIAERESIS.

Nothing to do with the encoding. Numeric Character
References in
XML always represent Unicode code points, regardless of what
encoding literal characters in the file are in.

Read http://xmlsoft.org/e
ncoding.html for an explanation of all
the issues.

This appears to be a defect in your mail user agent, the
message you
reponded to was ISO-8859-1 encoded and had the o-umlaut
encoded as two
octets (C3 B6, which is the proper UTF-8 sequence). The
original problem
appears to the the usual "API gives UTF-8 but I expect
something else".
