No problems, but you can apply templates in 'escape-CSV' mode to any
kind of node, attributes included, so with the template I provided,
you could do:
<xsl:apply-templates select="@Description" mode="escape-CSV" />
with exactly the same effect.
My comment about calling templates instead was if you need to
substitute strings in, say, the first 20 characters of a string, or
the normalised version of it or something, e.g.:
<xsl:call-template name="escape-CSV">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select="substring(@Description, 1, 20)" />
</xsl:call-template>
I hope that helps,
Jeni
