I mean neither of those can be described as XML unless we talk XHTML - which we're not. While we're on this one reason I've had to use D-O-E recently is to accept a small amount of HTML as an argument for example... <xsl:param name="itemsephtml" select="'<img src="/wdp/images/spc.gif" alt="" height="1">'"/> which used to be <xsl:param name="itemsephtml"><img src="/wdp/images/spc.gif" alt="" height="1"/></xsl:param> but I found when I passed a parameter with a text more or less similar to the <img tag the <xsl:copy-of/> that I used to use to show the parameter no longer worked so I was forced to this solution with <xsl:value-of D-O-E/> Any suggestion how I could have acheived my aim in a more XSL manner would be most welcome.
