I prefer to do this with variables:
<xsl:variable name="apos">'</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($apos, 'Entering state: ',$sname, $apos)" />
Or of course you can do
<xsl:text>'Entering state: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$sname" />
<xsl:text>'</xsl:text>

Subject: [xsl] Putting apostrophes around a string
Hi,
I'm putting together a string using this code snippet:
<xsl:value-of select="concat('Entering state: ',$sname)" />
Now, I would like to change the string by putting apostrophes
around it so that the output is 'Entering state: name'
Is it possible to do this and, in that case, how? I've tried
with apostrophe and ' but didn't manage to get it to
work in any of the different ways I used it.
I'm using XSLT 1.0.
Sincerely,
Anna
