XMLSpy complains correctly: you can't have < and > unescaped when you're
doing strings in XML (although XPath examples would show them unescaped,
because XPath is not XML).

So, you should escape them just as you would in any other string:
<xsl:if test="$n lt; $quantity">

Remember, all XML syntax requirements still apply regardless of which
language you're expressing in it.

: Hi,
: 
: Simple question.
: I am testing if one variable is less than another in a test 
: statement (see
: code sample below), however in XMLspy it complains.
: 
: I've seen other XSL use the same syntax, but wonder if there 
: is another way
: to structure the test so that XMLspy stays happy! ;-)
: 
: Thanks in advance for your help,
