This is what I'm doing. Within my called template, I'm writing the value to
the Parameter named Value, and when I need to retrieve the text of value, I
use:
<xsl:value-of select="$Value" />
I've just tried it with disable-output-escaping="yes", but that didn't make
any difference. How can this possibly be wrong?
Here's a bit more of the template for reference::
<xsl:template name="PrintRows">
<xsl:param name="RowColor" />
<xsl:param name="DisplayText" />
<xsl:param name="Value" />
<xsl:param name="Display" />
<xsl:param name="Amend" />
<tr valign="top">
<xsl:call-template name="GenerateRowColor">
<!-- adds an xsl:attribute to the above TR -->
<xsl:with-param name="Index" select="$RowColor" />
</xsl:call-template>
<td width="45%">
<xsl:value-of select="$DisplayText" /><br/>
</td>
<td width="45%">
<xsl:value-of select="$Value" /> <!-- in my html, I'm getting a space
here. Nothing displayed at all -->
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
And by the way, it works without the breaks!
Thanks,
Daniel.

that's correct: If it doesn't work you are doing something else wrong.
> <xsl:value-of select="<br/>" />
that isn't XML (can't have < in an attribute value, so the xsl system
will not even have seen it, having been rejected by the parser)
> <xsl:value-of select="'<br/>'" />
ditto
> <xsl:value-of select="'<br/>'" />
That is equivalent to
<xsl:text><br/></xsl:text>
and would produce something that displays as <br/> ratger than a new line.
> <xsl:value-of select="<br/>" />
That is legal XML but is an XSLT syntax error as You can't start an
XPath expression with <
