Mike,

> XML Spy gives me: "name must not contain that character".

Your questions are hard to understand and answer because it's
not clear what your XML really looks like. I think it will be
much easier to answer if you explained what you mean by a
"link" in this context. It might just be that you're attempting
to reference a non-XML file as an external general entity.
Show us your code.

No, that's not it.

My XML code looks like:

(first critical part)

<parameter> <name>swRemote</name> <value>swSaveEnabled='true' swVolume='true' swRestart='true' swPausePlay='true' swFastForward='true' swContextMenu='true'</value> </parameter>

(second critical part)

<parameter>
                        <name>bgColor</name>
                        <value>#333366</value>
</parameter>

These parameters should be transformed to

1) HTML attributes of the <embed> element (first case)
2) HTML element <param> and its attributes (second case)

What I meant was that the content of the <value> elements contains characters like #, = and integers. This poses no problem for validation, because I declared the value element to be of type "xs:string" (in the Schema). However, when I try to use <value-of select="value"> in my XSL-T, then I get the errors

"Must not contain "=" character." (in the first case)
"Must not contain # character." (in the second case)

That led me to the assumption that the <value> elements' content cannot be processed by XSL-T (or by XML Spy).

I wonder how to resolve this without having to escape the characters.
