The following XSL stylesheet

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0">
<xsl:template match="/one/two[. &lt; 10]">
<xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:text> &lt; 10</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/one/two[. = 10]">
<xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:text> = 10</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/one/two[. > 10]">
<xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:text> > 10</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

on the following XML data

<one>
<two>9</two>
<two>10</two>
<two>11</two>
</one>

produces the following output


9 &lt; 10
10 = 10
11 &gt; 10

It is a little unfortunate that one has to use &lt; in the comparison on
line 3 (otherwise xt displays a "character not allowed" message). On the
other hand, the > operator (gt) by itself seems to be accepted all right
as a literal, without needing the &gt; entity reference.
