I am using the evaluation copy of Stylus in Excelon 2.1on Windows NT. If I try to output an &gt; into an attribute using <xsl:attribute> I get a spurious &lt; in the created attribute.

Given the following test xml document:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test>
</test>

and the following XSLT template:

<xsl:template match="test">
<test>
<xsl:attribute name="myattr">
<xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
</test>
</xsl:template>

The output produced is:

<test myattr="&gt;&lt;"/>

I have tried using the disable-output-escaping feature of xsl:text but this appears to have no effect.

I have also tried

<xsl:template match="test">
<test>
<xsl:attribute name="myattr">
<xsl:text>></xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
</test>
</xsl:template>

But this gives the same output. I believe &gt; and &lt; are permitted in XML attributes but I cannot find a way to get rid of the extra &lt; whenever I try this.

This bug has been fixed for the next release. If it produces acceptable output, you can use the HTML output mode as a workaround.
