Re: processing-instruction()

PI's don't have attributes. the syntax of a processing instruction is
<?
 a name
 white space
  character data
 ?>

so you just have to get the string value of the node,

'filename="deliver.htm"'
here and use substring-before and substring-after to find the part you
are looking for.

   <xsl:param name="pis"
select="./processing-instruction('dbhtml')[contains(.,'filename=')]/>
