Re: [xsl] Using analyze-string to add tabs

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The regex attribute of xsl:analyze-string is an attribute value 
template, so if it contains curly braces they must be doubled.

People sometimes find it more convenient to put the regex in a variable, 
and then use regex="{$regex}".
