When you create an attribute, it must have a name. The <xsl:attribute> element *must* have a name attribute. Thus
<xsl:template match="some-element">
<td>
<xsl:attribute name="color">red</xsl:attribute>
</td>
</xsl:template>

will output this when matched:

<td color="red"></td>

I don't understand why you would want the value of an attribute to be a carriage return + linefeed, so I'm having a hard time figuring out what you really want.


When you use <xsl:text> you are creating a text element. Sticking whitespace in it (the carriage return, linefeed) is perfectly correct.

Subject:  Re:  Output escaped characters that represent the CR as an attribute

thanks for the reply.

A. "<xsl:attribute" can be followed by "disable-output-escaping="yes"
B. tried
<xsl:attribute>XXXX&#x0D;&#x0A;YYYY</xsl:attribute>, it doesn't work.

Wondering what is the difference between putting <xsl:text> tag after
an element tag and after an attrbute tag.
