The XML standard (more technically infoset) does not distinguish
between 'attvalue' form and "attvalue" form for attribute values. The
XSLT serializers obey this rule of XML infoset.

I am afraid, you would need to modify your end application not to
depend on this feature.

hi.

is there a way in xslt to force the creation of xml files with
apostrophed attributes instead of quotation marked values?

not: <Element attribute="value">

but: <Element attribute='value'>

the reason why we need apostrophes is that a silly application we're
using seems to accept only apostrophed values and quotation marks are
causing troubles.

thanks to all
answering
