RE: [xsl] a way to use Ampersands in xsl file

Why do you say

"I will not use &amp;"?

It's the right way. It's the only way. If you "will not use &amp;" you
will be writing in a syntax which looks a lot like XML, but ISN'T XML.

OK - that's not quite true. You could use CDATA sections instead, but
the net effect is the same - you are escaping the & character (and some
other special characters, like < and >)

Subject: [xsl] a way to use Ampersands in xsl file


hello
there is a sample of my xsl file.
in "Line 150" i use an Ampersand.
After trying to parse this with saxon i get this Error:

############################################################
Fatal error reported by XML parser: name expected (found " ")
  URL:    file:/C://myfile.xsl
  Line:   150
  Column: 23
Transformation failed
#############################################################
