Hi,

i thought, it would not be necessary ...

The "escape" processing simply prepares HTML to be sent to some JavaScript
function displaying specialized tooltips.

The xsl looks as follows:

=============================================================================
============

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<!-- *************************************************************************
-->
<!-- Stylesheet zur Ausgabe von HTML-Code, in dem alle HTML-Tokens escaped
-->
<!-- werden. Dies kann in HTML-Attributen genutzt werden, die HTML beinhalten.
-->
<!-- Insbesondere wird es eingesetzt, wenn Overlib-Aufrufe HTML beinhalten.
-->
<!-- 																		   -->

	<xsl:include href="tools.xsl"/>

	<!-- ************************************************************* -->
    <!-- * Verarbeitung der Elemente                                 * -->
	<!-- * Elemente werden mit Escapten < > ausgegeben 				 * -->
    <!-- ************************************************************* -->
    <xsl:template match="*" mode="escape">
		<xsl:text>&lt;</xsl:text>
		<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" mode="escape"/>
		<xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()" mode="escape"/>
		<xsl:text>&lt;/</xsl:text>
		<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
		<xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
    </xsl:template>
    <!-- ************************************************************* -->
    <!-- * Verarbeitung der Attribute                                * -->
    <!-- ************************************************************* -->
    <xsl:template match="@*" mode="escape">
		<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
		<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
		<xsl:text>="</xsl:text>
		<!-- hier werden nur EINFACHE Attribute angenommen, also insbes. kein HTML
drin -->
		<xsl:value-of select="."/>
		<xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
    </xsl:template>
    <!-- ************************************************************* -->
    <!-- * Verarbeitung von Text (#PCDATA)                           * -->
    <!-- ************************************************************* -->
    <xsl:template match="text()" mode="escape">
		<!-- <xsl:variable name="textInfo" select="normalize-space(.)"/> -->
		<xsl:call-template name="EscapeChars">
			<xsl:with-param name="text" select="."/>
		</xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

=============================================================================
============

Template "EscapeChars" included by "tools.xsl" replaces quotation by it's
entity refs.

	<!-- Ersetzt ' und " durch ihre entity references -->
	<xsl:template name="EscapeChars">
		<xsl:param name="text"/>
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="contains($text, &quot;'&quot;)">
				<xsl:call-template name="EscapeChars">
					<xsl:with-param name="text" select="concat(substring-before($text,
&quot;'&quot;), &quot;&amp;apos;&quot;, substring-after($text,
&quot;'&quot;))"/>
				</xsl:call-template>
				<xsl:text>\'</xsl:text>
				<xsl:call-template name="EscapeChars">
					<xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text,
&quot;'&quot;)"/>
				</xsl:call-template>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:when test="contains($text, '&quot;')">
				<xsl:call-template name="EscapeChars">
					<xsl:with-param name="text" select="concat(substring-before($text,
'&quot;'), '&amp;quot;', substring-after($text, '&quot;'))"/>
				</xsl:call-template>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
				<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:template>

I hope this helps finding out more about my problem.

Best redards
Thomas.

Your code sample isn't complete enough to really give any indication of what
you did, or what transformation you are trying to do. Presumably your
templates in mode "escape" don't do what you want them to do, but as you don't
say what you want them to do, and you don't show them, it's hard to give
advice.

Incidentally why do you have



  <xsl:template match="*">
	...
			<xsl:when test="name()='fussnote'">

    <xsl:template match="@*">
        <xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="name()='href'">

etc rather than the simpler and more natural

<xsl:template match="fussnote'">
...
<xsl:template match="@href">
...
