i am outputting contents of an xml file into html via xsl. for instance, i have a <block> tag and in it there is an <lnk> tag such as this: <block>content goes <lnk name=linktowherever>here</lnk></block>, i print out the block contents with the value-of tag, but how do i replace those lnk tags so that they become themselves a link.

Replacing text with xsl

HTML and XML arnt exactly mix-able, what I've actually done is with PHP , replace certain characters, for example a link.
!LTa href='
then in PHP doing
Course $result is the HTML once I've parsed it thru the XSL engine, then I'm just replacing tokens with the values desired. This is a server-sided method to solving the problem above, Client-sided I'm not really sure except maybe thru Javascript, and I think that might be a bit more troublesome. You could even try making a template in XSL to go one step further but as far as where the link shows up or in what order I dont know.
