Re: [xsl] curly braces in attributes

[Hermann Stamm-Wilbrandt <STAMMW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting, doubling the curly braces seems to do what you want:

$ echo "<foobar/>" | xsltproc curly.xsl -
<target name="clean"><delete dir="${basedir}/target"/></target>
$
$ cat curly.xsl
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
>
  <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <target name="clean" >
      <delete dir="${{basedir}}/target" />
    </target>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
$

  Subject:    [xsl] curly braces in attributes






I am trying to generate xml that contains attributes with with curly
braces.
My style sheet has something like:

        <target name="clean" >
             <delete dir="${basedir}/target" />
        </target>

The results I am getting now is:

    <target name="clean" >
        <delete dir="$/target"/>
    </target>

I am expecting the same to output the same text. I tried to use
<xsl:text> and CDATA. The only way I was able to get the output I
needed is using CDATA inside <xsl:text> for the parts,
I need to output unchanged and unescaped.

Is there a better to disable expression evaluation. Thank you.
