["dvint dvint@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Trplle apos does the trick for defining the variable, but doesn't work for the
replace().Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

&apos;&apos; to no avail.In XPath 2.0 and later you can use two single quotes
inside a single quoted string e.g. ':()''' or ''''.>> This iss a sample of a
string I'm trying to modify:>> "Step 9: Create the application's resource

<xsl:template match="/">> B B B  <xsl:variable name="inputString"
select="'This is a string with a > single quote: 'example''" />> B B B 
<xsl:variable name="outputString" select="translate($inputString, >
&apos;&apos;, '')" />> B B B  <xsl:value-of select="$outputString" />>
</xsl:template>>> This throws a different error around creating the
