> In my first post I asked if there was a way to trick the replace function so I could output markup in the replacement string. I have since solved my problem using xsl:analyze-string.

The square brackets are because curly brackets are special in regular expressions (to match "{" the regex needs to be either "\{" or "[{]".) I would probably write this one as <xsl:variable name="regex">\{\{|\}\}</xsl:variable> <xsl:analyze-string regex="{$regex}">... Michael Kay Saxonica
