Re: Q.) Encode URL inside HTML Anchor Tag.

["Robert Herschke" <robert at herschke dot de>]

Hi,

for transforming the spaces to + you can use the XPath Function transform...

like this:
<a href="someurl?queryparam={transform(/some_xml_tag/a_query_param,'
','+')}">Click me</a>

But I don't know exactly, how  Cocoon implements the whole XPath
functionality!

Good luck!
Robert
