RE: Invalid characters in xsl:element


[substring-after(substring-after(.,'!'),'!')] applied to [!tagname!value]
would give [value] and not [name], would it not?  Perhaps you need
[substring-before(substring-after(.,'!'),'!')] instead.

Subject: [xsl] Invalid characters in xsl:element


Hello,

I'm trying to write an xsl file that will convert the following:

<line>!tagname!value</line>

into this:

<tagname>value</tagname>

When I use the following to get the tag name:
	 <xsl:element name="substring-after(substring-after(.
,'!'),'!')">
	</xsl:element>

I get the error "A name contained an invalid character".  Now, I've
tested this function using the xsl:value-of element, and there were no
invalid characters in the result.  

Is the parser finding the invalid character before the substring is
removed?  If so, is there any way to tell the parser to wait until after
the function has been applied before checking for invalid characters?

Thanks,
Jason
