Betty,

This is because it's the parser, not the XSLT processor, that's confused by the literal quote. But I think you've probably seen that now. :->

Does anyone have any tricks to grab the quote. I would expect it would see
the double quote in the single quote as 'text' and not a delimiter.
However, it sees it as a closing quote. I tried the 'old vi backslash
trick'but it didn't work.

There is no backslash escaping in XML/XPath. Try <xsl:variable name="name1"> <xsl:value-of select="substring-after ($definition, '&quot;')"/> </xsl:variable>

BTW you could write this as
 <xsl:variable name="name1" select="substring-after($definition, '&quot;')"/>
