Re: generate-id only works within <a> link?

David,

It works, great. Because generate-id is usually part of HTML to be generated and thus subject of 99% of the examples, I thought that it had to be wrapped in {} in XSLT too.

Thanks,

Cas

You can only use attribute value template notation {} in attribute
values. Use xsl:value-of in element content.

I changed it to:

<xsl:for-each select="procedure/section">
   <xsl:value-of select="{generate-id(.)}"/>
</xsl:for-each>

but now XMLspy complains: "Invalid XPath expression"




You can only use attribute value template notation {} in attribute
values on literal result elements and a few specific xsl elements that do
_not_ take an Xpath expression.
In a select attribute you should always use an Xpath expression (and {}
is not Xpath syntax) so you just want

 <xsl:value-of select="generate-id(.)"/>
