The parser is concerned with breaking an XML document into its respective parts in order that it can be used to build a source tree. So it's not the parser. It's whatever output handler your XSLT processor is invoking to serialize the result tree into an XML document. It knows that if the output is to be well-formed XML, it must always escape & and <, except within a CDATA section, comment, or processing instruction. Read about it in the XML spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#dt-chardata To get around this for some perverse reason, try: <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">& < etc.</xsl:text> Otherwise, if your output is HTML, indicate so with this top-level element: <xsl:output method="html"/> But I'm not even sure if you're supposed to do that in HTML anyway. Most of the time, just trust the output handler. It should understand what's allowed and what's not allowed. Hope this helps!

Fortunately, it doesn't interfere with the loading of the URL in the src attribute in the output HTML, but I am curious as to why I can't produce "&" within an attribute... I have tried double escaping it as well, to no avail, and I have also tried <![CDATA]]> and <xsl:text>, both of which output literal characters, but both of which become escaped in the attribute of an HTML tag. What exactly are the rules forthis or what does the spec say about it (or is someone gonig to tell me to go read my parser documentation? (which i eventually will).? aaron XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
