Hans-Peter KüchlerSubject: using entity reference in concat function
Author: Hans-Peter Küchler
Date: 29 Apr 2002 04:51 PM
Hello, I've the following problem:
I can't use the entity reference ' in the concat function (xsl:output method is "text"). It should output something like this ({for < and } for >):

{item-value} 'item-value' "item-value"

I tried the following:

{xsl:value-of select="concat('<', item, '> '', item, '' "', item, '"')"/}

but SS shows an error for the '. Without ' but with " it works fine. I know that the definition of a variable for ' should work but why doesn't work the direct way?

regards, Hans-Peter Küchler

oops, the line

{xsl:value-of select="concat('<', item, '> '', item, '' "', item, '"')"/}

should look like this:

{xsl:value-of select="concat('&lt;', item, '&gt; &apos;', item, '&apos; &quot;', item, '&quot;')"/}

I think the problem is that with '' "' you are trying to create a
string which is ''"'
That won't work, as entities are resolved one step before the XML fragment
is actually parsed; you should get the same behavior using XalanJ or MSXML.

I think something like this will do what you are trying to do:
{xsl:variable name="apos" select='"'"'/}
{xsl:value-of select="concat('<', item, '> ', $apos, item, $apos, '
"', item, '"')"/}

Things would be probably simpler if you were not using concat.

Hope this helps,
Minollo
