> You could use variable: > <xsl:variable name="FOO"> > <xsl:value-of select="BehaviourInfo/Trap/Name"/> > </xsl:variable> > An xsl:variable that contains a single xsl:value-of is almost always bad coding. Use <xsl:variable name="FOO" select="string(BehaviourInfo/Trap/Name)"/> Apart from the fact that it's one line of code instead of three, it also defines the variable as a string rather than as a tree. The only useful thing you can do with this kind of tree in practice is to convert it to a string, so it's much simpler and more efficient to create it as a string in the first place. I thought it worth mentioning because I'm seeing more and more examples of this bad coding style. Of course, <xsl:variable name="FOO"> <xsl:copy-of select="BehaviourInfo/Trap/Name"/> </xsl:variable> is even worse, and also very common.
