Re: transform a link

Hi Yan,

the problem is in the variable. All spaces and linebreaks from <xsl:variable
name="link"> to </xsl:variable> will be stored in $link. To avoid this write

<xsl:variable name="link">../../details/invoice/detail_1.htm</xsl:variable>

or

<xsl:variable name="link">
    <xsl:text>../../details/invoice/detail_1.htm</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>

> <a>
>    <xsl:attribute name="href">
>        <xsl:value-of select="$link"/>
>    </xsl:attribute>
>    <xsl:value-of select="link_title"/>
> </a>

This can be shortened using attribute value template {}:

<a href="{$link}">
    <xsl:value-of select="link_title"/>
</a>

Is there a must for the variable?

Why not writing <a href="../../details/invoice/detail_1.htm">?

Joerg
