RE: [xsl] Unicode character blocks in strings

[tom tom <tomxsllist@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My confusion came when I was trying to the value 'IsCJKUnifiedIdeographs' in a
variable and reference this in an attribute value template.

If I store 'IsCJKUnifiedIdeographs' in the variable 'UnicodeCharBlock'
\p{{{$UnicodeCharBlock}}} seems to work.

If I understand you correctly the innermost {} flags the AVT, the outermost
ones are the actual braces required for this expression. Are the middle ones
to process the results of the first AVT within a second AVT?
