RE: [xsl] Special Characters for Position Sepcific Output.

["Avula, Raj" <RAvula@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

	Thanks for the reply. I am actually generating "text" output 
and also I am using xml:output method="text". But the tool,
I am using escapes the special characters, even the ouput 
method is text. I tried with Xalan and it worked fine.

Thanks,
Raj
