[thelist] Avoid the CDATA dance in XSL

[Nik Schramm]

Shane,

try this

<xsl:element name="a">
	<xsl:attribute name="title">Your link title here</xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:attribute name="href">?op=show&uid=<xsl:value-of
select="@uid" /></xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:attribute name="class">Your css class here</xsl:attribute>
		<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>

N.B. I couldn't figure out what exactly <xsl:value-of select="uid" /> is
supposed to be in your code: an attribute, a child tag ? I assumed it
was an attribute and added the '@', if it isn't, use the appropriate
Xpath expression to suit.
