Re: [xsl] Testing if a string begins with numeric in XSL 1.0

funny

"0" <= substring($input-name,1,1) and substring($input-name,1,1) <= "9"

(for XPath2 you even don`t need substring  '0' <= '88' and '88' <='9'
true in XPath 2 and false in XPath 1)

or

Or

contains('1234567890',substring($input-name,1,1))

(Also returns true for an empty $input-name.)
