Re: [xsl] Problem with Output special char in HTML attribute

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a FAQ (and I'm sure the answer will be in the FAQ for this list)


<a href="#" tabindex="<?=$tabindex++?>">

is not well formed XML (or HTML) so you  can not generate it directly in
XSLT.

If your processor supports disable output  escaping and it wasn't in an
attribute value you could go

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;?=$tabindex++?&gt;

but as you are in an attribute value there is no way to generate this in
pure xslt 1.

Saxon (and possibly other systems) has an extension attribute to allow
d-o-e to be used with attribute values, or you could use XSLT2  (If you
have saxon 8)
