Re: [xsl] xslt replace special characters

["Alice Fan" <arisuu@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi..

thank you.  it works if i just use it for one character.  can i put in more 
than one character in the pattern variable at once?  if i keep calling the 
template, obviously i will get the string variable the number of i call the 
template.  so what do you suggest that i do if i have a string like this.

thanks
