I'm not 100% sure about that - any HTML(XML) content must be "escaped" in an XML file? An example: On http://refsbook.com a user exports his profile in XML format. But because e.g. the user's "about" info is HTML-encoded, we need to put it into the XML content.

Anyway that was talking about the [xsl:attribute] tag. The example was: [xsl:tag name="a"] [xsl:attribute name="href"] [xsl:value-of select="contact/email" /] [/xsl:attribute] [/xsl:tag] Yay all code examples stripped!

To add values to tag attributes you can also use the <code></code> tag which is very handy if you need conditionally add attributes. <code> </code> It's more verbose for simple selects like this, but it pays off when you need to any testing to the attribute value. Also if you ever have to do XSL on the client, Sarissa makes it nearly painless, and client side XSL is really fast and great for certain scenarios. http://dev.abiss.gr/sarissa/ I used to build a form building app at UVa that essentially created an XML representation of the form all on the client it was cool to use the same XSL form the client and the server depending on if you were editing or just using the form.
