Hi,

Is there any way to avoid a syntax error with a regex containing  both
&apos;&quot for example ['"](.*?)["'] in the following select.

<xsl:value-of select="matches(., '[&apos;&quot;](.*?)[&quot;&apos;]')"/>


Working with Oxygen 10.3, F [Saxon-B 9.1.0.7] I'll get an XPath syntax
error at char 14 on line 44 in {matches(., '['"](.*?)["']'}:
    expected ")", found "<string-literal>"



I'm sure this is an easy question but I wasn't able to find the right
Google search to answer it.
Thanks
