Hi Steve,
Here's an example:
XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<contacts>
<contact>
<email>xxx(_at_)email(_dot_)com</email>
</contact>
<contact>
<email>xxx(_at_)email(_dot_)com</email>
</contact>
<contact>
<email>xxx(_at_)email(_dot_)com</email>
</contact>
</contacts>
XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="contacts/contact/email">
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">mailto:<xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</a>
<br/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Hope that helps.
cheers
Malcolm

Subject: [xsl] generating mailto
Hi-
I'm just getting my feet wet in XSL and it's pretty interesting. I think
I am missing something though, because I find myself needing xsl:text
more than I think I really ought to. For example, if I have XML
<contact>
<email>xxx(_at_)email(_dot_)com</email>
</contact>
and I want to generate a mailto URI like this:
<a href="xxx(_at_)email(_dot_)com>xxx(_at_)email(_dot_)com</a>
the only thing I can get to work well is something like
<td class="contact">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<a href= "mailto:
</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="contact/email"/>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
">
</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="contact/email"/>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
</a>
</xsl:text>
</td>
because the need for quotes after the "href=" confuses everything (Then
I have to hide the '<' because it gets upset when it sees <a href= with
no quotes following). I'm sure that there's a more elegant solution than
this relatively ugly one. I did try using an <xsl:variable> but I just
get $email in the output. Any takers?
