RE: xsl + xsl -- xsl

This results in something like
 <xsl:attribute name="COLSPAN">

Which looks right in an html browser but is not what I wanted to 
produce. I played with xsl:eval for a bit but it won't produce tags, for 
instance if you have
<xsl:eval>"<xsl:attribute name = 
'COLSPAN'>foo</xsl:attribute>";</xsl:eval> Microsoft kindly deletes 
"<xsl:attribute..." and "</xsl:attribute>" from the string.

However I stumbled on an answer that at least seems to work:

<xsl:template match="xsl:attribute">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when match="*[@name $eq$ 'n-columns-spanned']">
      <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:for-each match="@*">
          <xsl:attribute name="name">COLSPAN</xsl:attribute>
         </xsl:for-each>
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:copy>
         <xsl:for-each match="@*">
             <xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of/></xsl:attribute>
         </xsl:for-each> 
         <xsl:apply-templates/>      
      </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Thanks for your help,
Alan.

Try escaping the opening of the XSL tags that you want in the output 
with
&gt;. This should disambiguate what is essentially text and what is 
active.
