Patrick,
| so, in my XSL file, I want to use :
| <a HREF="http://<xsl:value-of select="$server">">, but guess what... It
You'll want to use the shortcut "attribute value template"
syntax that allows you to insert the value of an XPath
expression in the middle of a literal attribute's value
by surrounding the expression with curly-brackets:
<a href="http://{$server}"/>
This is equivalent to the longer-hand version:
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="$server"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</a>
and is a lot less typing.
