I have to escape several characters, one of which is an apostrophe, in

think of but can't get the apostrophe replace working.
Here's of few of the replaces I've tried: (note that all of the double
and single quotes are the regular keyboard characters - outlook has altered
them below)
<xsl:variable name="newString" select="replace(oldString, '(['])',
'XXX')"/>
<xsl:variable name="newString" select="replace(oldString, ''',
'XXX')"/>
These two will be the same once XSLT gets to see...
<xsl:variable name="newString" select="replace(oldString, '''', 'XXX')"/>
How about
<xsl:variable name="newString" select='replace(oldString, "'",
"XXX")'/>
