I am brand-new to XSLT and have encountered symbols associated with variables for which I cannot find a definition. I tried the archives, but could not figure out how to search for symbols. I am trying to learn from Jeni Tennison's XSLT 2.0. She says on page 236, "...you can refer to that variable's value within another XPath expression using the variable's name prefixed with a dollar sign ($)." OK, that's clear, but what is the '@' sign used for? For instance, at the top of page 237: <xsl:if test="@rating > $minRating"> Are there other such symbols and where do I find them defined? Thanks, Mark
