Paul:

If you are talking about changing all singles quotes in a string to double
quotes, here is one (of many) ways ...

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
    <xsl:param name="singlequote">
        <xsl:text>'</xsl:text>
    </xsl:param>
    <xsl:param name="doublequote">
        <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
    </xsl:param>
    <xsl:template match="text()">
        <text>
            <xsl:value-of select="translate(.,$singlequote,$doublequote)"/>
        </text>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Be careful though -- what about things like *don't do it*?

Subject: [xep-support] Replace straight apostrophe with curly apostrophe

Sounds like the simplest thing in the world, but I can figure this out.
Whatever I try I get errors along the lines of

Unmatched quote in expression '

The problem is - how to select a single apostrophe in XSLT?

Thanks
