I jumped too quickly, like Michael Kay said. Sorry for the misinformation, but the AVT will come in handy at some point, so do look into it.

when I do that, I get an invalid character. {

The part that contains the <xsl:value-of select="$link-target"/>
is working fine I believe

It is the other part.
<xsl:value-of select="$parent_graphic/@id"> 
that is not working.  I will still look into AVT.



<xsl:when test="name(//*[@id=$link-target])='grphprim'">
	<xsl:variable name="parent_graphic"
select="//graphic[grphprim/@id=$link-target]"/>
	<xsl:value-of select="$parent_graphic/@id">
</xsl:when>

It doesn't work because you are not yet familiar with the attribute
value template (avt). Add curly braces like this:

<xsl:value-of select="{$link-target}"/>

That's how you get the evluation of a variable in an attribute value.

I am transforming SGML to XML.
The sample sgml is:

<graphic id="123" name="graphic" ......>
	<grphprim id="456" ....>
</graphic>
