RE: [xsl] handling tags and PIs within a macro

I'm not familiar with the concept of a "macro" in the context of XSLT. Is this 
an extension function of a particular XSLT processor?

Your processor is simply reporting that what you've written is not XML 
("Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes values.").

If this macro is a feature of a particular processor (XML, XSLT?), then you may 
have better luck in getting an answer on how to break the rules on the support 
list for that processor. 

So far you don't seem to have got very far on this list, probably because the 
readers don't understand the background of your situation (e.g., what programs 
are you using to process the data documents and stylesheets, how are you 
calling them, what is the purpose of the macro, how the macro is supposed to 
function, etc.).

Subject:  [xsl] handling tags and PIs within a macro

Hi guys,

I have created templates by the help of which, the
compiler will parse my macros for graphics, chunks of
table entries, etc. The problem is that when a macro
is parsed by its template defined in .xsl file, the
compiler cannot handle such processing instructions as
<sbr\>, <xref.../>  <command>, etc that are within the
macro's text. The compiler says:
parser error :  How do I create a template within each macro
template, so that those processing instructions in the
<> format will be handled regularly, without changing
their format to <...>?

Please, advise!

P.S. here is an example of a table row macro (and
within this row there could be all these problematic
PIs.

<xsl:template match="j_entry">
<row>
  <entry>
  <xsl:element name="formalpara">
    <xsl:attribute name="id">
      <xsl:value-of select="@fid"/>
     </xsl:attribute>
     <title>
       <xsl:value-of select="@cmd"/>
     </title>
  </xsl:element>

  <formalpara>
    <title>Description</title>
    <xsl:value-of select="@dsc"/>
  </formalpara>

  <formalpara>
    <title>Relevant to</title>
    <xsl:value-of select="@rel"/>
  </formalpara>

  <formalpara>
    <title>Type</title>
    <xsl:value-of select="@t"/>
  </formalpara>
  
  <formalpara>
    <title>Default Value</title>
    <xsl:value-of select="@val"/>
  </formalpara>
  </entry>
</row>
</xsl:template>

The macro in the XML source file looks like this:

<j_entry cmd="admin/user/mail" dsc="Quota of a mailbox
in Megabytes. The default value is taken from the mail
server default quota (see entry <xref
linkend='mta_quota' xrefstyle='template:%t on page
%p'/>)." rel="Mail Server" t="integer" ver="4.0"
val="30"/>

Thanks in advance!
Kind regard,
Nancy
