Didn't see this one in the FAQ or histories, although it's closely related to the '&' in attributes question ...
I want to produce HTML links that contain escaped characters, but when I put this in XSL:
<a href="foo.cgi?formula=xml%2Bxsl&result=html">...</a>
It turns into this in HTML (Saxon 5.1, IBM's XML parser):
<a href="foo.cgi?formula=xml%252Bxsl&result=html">...</a>
Notice that the intended "%2B" got escaped to "%252B".
Browsers seem to handle the '&' in the URLs by translating to '&', but the escaped '%252B' goes all the way through to the server when the link is clicked.
The only way I have found to get an unescaped '%' into output HTML so far has been by constructing the link manually using <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">, but I know that's a sign I'm doing something wrong. Anyone know the right way to do this?
