I know you can use > "<"/">" but > these remain as "<" / ">" in the HTML. As you are outputting to a result tree, you can only output well-formed xml. You don't output a string, or build a string, or add to a string. This will become clearer as times go on. Once the transformation has finished, a serialiser can then traverse the result tree and give you a string. So, bearing in mind you can only output nodes to a tree, the usual way to 'build' a table is: <xsl:template match="/"> <table border="1"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </table> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="row"> <tr> <xsl:apply-templates/> </tr> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="entry"> <td> <xsl:apply-templates/> </td> </xsl:template> (used on:) <row> <entry>first column</entry> <entry>second column</entry> </row> The result tree would look something like: <table> | <tr> / \ / \ <td> <td> | | text() text() Does the ascii art help? :) cheers andrew XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
