RE: [xsl] handling tags and PIs within a macro

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It appears to me that the OP has a problem that could be remedied 
simply enough through better modeling in the XML-that-is-not-yet-XML:

> <j_entry cmd="admin/user/mail" dsc="Quota of a mailbox
> in Megabytes. The default value is taken from the mail
> server default quota (see entry <xref
> linkend='mta_quota' xrefstyle='template:%t on page
> %p'/>)." rel="Mail Server" t="integer" ver="4.0"
> val="30"/>

would work better as:

<j_entry cmd="admin/user/mail" rel="Mail Server" t="integer" ver="4.0"
val="30">
  <dsc>Quota of a mailbox in Megabytes. The default value is taken 
from the mail
    server default quota (see entry <xref linkend='mta_quota'
      xrefstyle='template:%t on page %p'/>).</dsc>
</j_entry>

Then a template matching the dsc element would see its element 
contents, and being an element not an attribute, those contents would 
actually be legal.

Cheers,
Wendell
