No--it's a function of the XML parser, not the style sheet. Whatever is getting the data from the database must escape at least: "<", "&" in order to create well-formed XML. Worst case, you can apply a pre-process that simply translates "& " to "& ". Cheers, Eliot ISOGEN International, LLC XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
