In this case I do something like :
<xsl:value-of>he's good</xsl:value-of>
that can be do with the <xsl:variable ou <xsl:attribute, if you want you
can push it in a <xsl:text>

Hi Folks,
I want to output a string.
This
<xsl:value-of select="'he is good'" />
outputs:
he is good
Now, suppose that I want to output:
he's good
This
<xsl:value-of select="'he's good'" />
produces an error. Apparently the entity is resolved to yield
<xsl:value-of select="'he's good'" />
and that is obviously an error.
So what's the solution?
Answer: escape the ampersand in the apostrophe entity reference:
<xsl:value-of select="'he&apos;s good'" />
Now that doesn't seem reasonable. It means that there is double entity resolution occurring: the first to convert
&apos;
to
'
and the second to convert
'
to
'
Where is this double entity resolution occurring? The XML parser does the first entity resolution. What is doing the second entity resolution?
