reading values from ISO-8859-1 encoded xml

[Jorge]

Im reading rss2.0 content that is encoded using ISO-8859-1 like this:

DDXMLDocument *document = [[DDXMLDocument alloc]
initWithXMLString:content options:0 error:&error];
DDXMLElement* root = [document rootElement];

If if NSLog content variable it's displayed ok. But if I do this:

for (DDXMLElement *item in items){
title = [[[item elementsForName:@"title"] objectAtIndex:0]
stringValue];
NSLog(@"%@",tempNew.title);
}

I get "López" instead of "López"

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

The problem is likely to be with the NSString you're initialising the
document with. Make sure you use NSISOLatin1StringEncoding when
creating the string, using something like NSString's
initWithData:encoding: API.

I'm initializing the string in the right way (I think):

content = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:contentData
encoding:NSISOLatin1StringEncoding];

if I NSLog content it displays ok with accents and everything. It's
the method stringValue what is returning a weird value.
