how to put or test for quotes in a string

[Mike Brown <mike@xxxxxxxx>]

Should-Be-In-The-FAQ material here...

How do you put ' or " into a string?

<xsl:variable name="apos">'</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="quot">"</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="foo" select="concat($quot,'Hello, world!',$quot)"/>

How do you test for the presence of ' or " in a string?

<!-- same $apos and $quot assignments, then... -->
<xsl:if test="contains($foo,$apos) or contains($foo,$quot)">
  ...
</xsl:if>

Are these the only or preferred methods?
