For some reason Xalan version 1.4 with xalan:evaluate included
seems to do evaluating it self.

I was quite suprosed when I ran these lines:

<p><b><a href="{$monthdec}"><font
color="{$NavigationArrowColor}">&lt;&lt;&lt;
</font></a></b></p>


The result is ecxatly what I wanted:
<p>
<b>
<a
href="/cbroker/XMLServ/XMLHan?command=list&amp;period=month&amp;count=dec&amp;status=1"><font
color="#FFFFFF">&lt;&lt;&lt; </font></a>
</b>
</p>

Without anything like xalan:evaluate functions used anywhere, Why?

Cheers
