Re: [xsl] translate() function, changing characters

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Hello Manfred,

don't rack your brain with this. It's the problem of the serializer, not 
your one. It must escape URIs correctly. Make your XML well-formed and 
everything should be fine:

<menu_choosen>H&M 15% Investment vs. #20 = today</menu_choosen>
---------------^

& => &amp;

Regards,

Joerg
