Hi Colin,

Sure, that was just an example.
I guess one can eventually test if the character is present in the file and issue an error in that case.


Best Regards,
George

In XSLT 2.0 you can use a trick to achieve that. For instance if you know that a character, let's say # does not appear in the output then you can use a character map to map it to nothing and generate # in every element:

That could be dangerous, as someone else may introduce the character # later.
Better is to use a private-use character, where the danger of that happening is substantially less.
