Re: [xsl] XSL-FO & Images

David,

I recommend to my students not to use url('uri-here') but to use 
url("uri-here") because URI syntax RFC 2396 section 2.3 allows a single 
quote in a URI ... if an authored URI has a single quote and the stylesheet 
creates an attribute with single quotes around the URI, then the single 
quotes in the parens are not properly balanced.  RFC 2396 section 2.4.3 
specifically excludes double quote in a URI, so I figure it is safe if my 
students use:

  src='url("uri-here")'

or

  src="url("uri-here")"

I hope this helps.

. . . . . . . . Ken
