RE: Trying to put a <BR> in a string parameter

xsl equivalent br
This is what I'm doing. Within my called template, I'm writing the value to
the Parameter named Value, and when I need to retrieve the text of value, I
use:

<xsl:value-of select="$Value" />

I've just tried it with disable-output-escaping="yes", but that didn't make
any difference. How can this possibly be wrong?

Here's a bit more of the template for reference::

<xsl:template name="PrintRows">
	<xsl:param name="RowColor" />
	<xsl:param name="DisplayText" />
	<xsl:param name="Value" />
	<xsl:param name="Display" />
	<xsl:param name="Amend" />
	  <tr valign="top">
	    <xsl:call-template name="GenerateRowColor">
		<!-- adds an xsl:attribute to the above TR -->
		<xsl:with-param name="Index" select="$RowColor" />
	    </xsl:call-template>
	    <td width="45%">
		<xsl:value-of select="$DisplayText" /><br/>
	    </td>
	    <td width="45%">
	    	<xsl:value-of select="$Value" /> <!-- in my html, I'm getting a space
here. Nothing displayed at all -->
	    </td>
	  </tr>
</xsl:template>

And by the way, it works without the breaks!

Thanks,

Daniel.

that's correct: If it doesn't work you are doing something else wrong.

> <xsl:value-of select="<br/>" />
that isn't XML (can't have < in an attribute value, so the xsl system
will not even have seen it, having been rejected by the parser)

> <xsl:value-of select="'<br/>'" />
ditto

> <xsl:value-of select="'&lt;br/&gt;'" />
That is equivalent to
<xsl:text>&lt;br/&gt</xsl:text>
and would produce something that displays as <br/> ratger than a new line.

> <xsl:value-of select="&lt;br/&gt;" />
That is legal XML but is an XSLT syntax error as You can't start an
XPath expression with <
