Also note that all parsed general entity references in your original XML and in your stylesheet are resolved during the parsing stage, before the trees represented by those documents are exposed to the XSLT processor. Any markup characters (& < > ' ") that survive parsing and make it into the result tree are going to be non-markup character data that will be serialized as entity references appropriately upon output. You should step back and answer this question first: Why do you feel you need ' in the output? The XSLT processor should be smart enough to know when it ' is really necessary. The only time it is necessary is when instances of "'" occur in the value of an attribute that is going to be serialized with "'" as the delimiter -- otherwise one wouldn't know where the attribute value ends. Example: <foo title='Isn't that special?'> - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
