Re: Problem with Output special char in HTML attribute

sorry, I didn't understand this question at all, you posted a
stylesheet, and described the small input document, but you didn't
describe the problem you are having with the stylesheet, and how it
relates to your problem with variables. 

looking back over the thread perhaps you ust want to generate 5 links
without reference to the source doc.
You could use a simple recusive template for that or even simpler:
<xsl:for-each select="(document('')//*)[position()&lt;6]">
 <a href="#" tabindex="{position()}">link<xsl:value-of select="position()"/></a>
</xsl:for-each>
