Question

In an XML data file I have a collection of images <image_list>; within this collection, I have images with different names (given in the <image_result> name attribute).

How can I escape the quotes so that this will work? I’ve tried using " or \" for both sets of quotes, but emacs lights up red, indicating a formatting error.

XSL snippet:

<table>
  <tr>
<xsl:for-each select="image_list/image_result">
  <td>
    <img src ="<xsl:value-of select="name"/>" style="width:450px"/>
  </td>
</xsl:for-each>
  </tr>
</table>

Answer 1

Your XSLT needs to be a well-formed XML document, so the type of construct you’re attempting is simply not possible. Use an Attribute Value Template instead:

<img src="{name}" style="width:450px"/>
