Re: [xsl] translate apos in string

[Abel Braaksma <abel.online@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a FAQ.

Because of the nature of using strings in XPath/XSLT and the nature of 
XML and the way they deal with entities, your statement below will not 
compile. Since you use translate(), my guess is you use XSLT 1 (if not, 
you can escape an apostrophe by using a doubled apostrophe).

As long as you only want to remove apostrophes (and not also quotes), 
the following solution is the easiest (switching the quotes of the 
attribute to apostrophes, and the quotes inside the expressions to 
normal quotes):

       <xsl:value-of select='translate($test, "&apos;&#xA;", "")' />
