Re: <xsl:value-of ...> as value of HTML attribute

[Toivo Lainevool <tlainevool@xxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is that it isn't legal to include an element inside of a attribute
value.  You need to use the xsl:attribute and xsl:element elements, like so:

<xsl:template match="Code">
    <xsl:element name="option">
        <xsl:attribute name="value">
             <xsl:value-of select="Effect"/>
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:value-of select="Display"/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
