Hi Folks, I want to output a string. This <xsl:value-of select="'he is good'" /> outputs: he is good Now, suppose that I want to output: he's good This <xsl:value-of select="'he's good'" /> produces an error. Apparently the entity is resolved to yield <xsl:value-of select="'he's good'" /> and that is obviously an error. So what's the solution? Answer: escape the ampersand in the apostrophe entity reference: <xsl:value-of select="'he&apos;s good'" /> Now that doesn't seem reasonable. It means that there is double entity resolution occurring: the first to convert &apos; to ' and the second to convert ' to ' Where is this double entity resolution occurring? The XML parser does the first entity resolution. What is doing the second entity resolution? /Roger
