xmlerHi
xmlerHow can I do <a href="$variable">blah</a> in XSLT?
rindolfxmler: you can use <xsl:attribute>
rindolfxmler: or use ${...}
rindolfxmler: have you read the Zvon XSLT tutorial?
xmlerrindolf: I've read various resources; perhaps it's the fault of XML::XSLT on CPAN
rindolfxmler: use XML::LibXSLT instead.
rindolfIt's faster and better.
