When Saxon prefixes a message with "Error reported by XML parser" it means that the error is at the XML level rather than the XSLT level - the stylesheet is not well-formed XML. Your attribute starts with {select='} so it ends with the next {'} which is the one in {@ID='}, which is not followed by a space. If you need to use ' within an attribute delimited by ', you can write it as ', thus: select='doc(concat("http://localhost:8080/exist/servlet/db/mods?_query=", "/mods:modsCollection/mods:mods[@ID='", ., "']"))'/> But since the apostrophe is actually a character appearing in a URI, it might be even better to escape it as %H27. Square brackets in a URI should also probably be %HH-escaped. Michael Kay
