RE: [xsl] Creating List with xsl:function

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You might find the Saxon error messages more helpful:

Error at xsl:sequence on line 7 of file:/c:/temp/test.xsl:
  XPST0003: XPath syntax error at char 26 on line 7 in {('1', 'a', 'i', 'A',
'I') coun...}:
    Unexpected token "<function>(" beyond end of expression

Error at ol on line 11 of file:/c:/temp/test.xsl:
  XPST0003: XPath syntax error at char 6 on line 11 in
{enum{$ACM:list-format(.}:
    expected "<name>", found "<function>("

The first is because you've omitted the "[" at the start of the predicate.

The second is because you've got an unwarranted "$" before your function
call.
