Hi Tanzila, > I want to give the 'subscript of 2' a variable name so that it can > be used later: You don't need the xsl:value-of - you only use xsl:value-of if you want to insert the (string) value of some expression. Instead, just use: <xsl:variable name="subscript2"> <fo:inline baseline-shift="sub" font-size="6px">2</fo:inline> </xsl:variable> This sets the $subscript2 variable to a result tree fragment, which looks like a little node tree with a root node and a child fo:inline element with a value of 2. To insert that result tree fragment into your result, preserving its structure, you use: <xsl:copy-of select="$subscript2" /> You can't use translate() to substitute the '2' characters in a string with the value of that variable, however. The translate() function only works with exchanging one set of characters for another set of characters. To replace the '2' characters in a string with the subscripted 2, you need: <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(., '2')" /> <xsl:copy-of select="$subscript2" /> <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(., '2')" /> or, if there are lots of '2' characters in the string, you need a recursive template: <xsl:template name="replace2s"> <xsl:param name="string" select="string()" /> <xsl:variable name="subscript2"> <fo:inline baseline-shift="sub" font-size="6px">2</fo:inline> </xsl:variable> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="contains($string, '2')"> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, '2')" /> <xsl:copy-of select="$subscript2" /> <xsl:call-template name="replace2s"> <xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string, '2')" /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="$string" /></xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> You can call this with: <xsl:for-each select="row-title"> <xsl:call-template name="replace2s" /> </xsl:for-each> I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
