[xsl] outputting an <a href> with a URL which contains "&func"

[Saverio Perugini <sperugin at csgrad dot cs dot vt dot edu>]

Hello,

I'm trying to output an <a href> from an XSL template.
The value of the href attribute is a URL which contains the string
``&func''

The following results in an error regarding the reference to entity "func".
The error states that the reference must end with the ';' delimiter.

<a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">http://....?dtype=C&func=front&state=&style=";></xsl:text></xsl:attribute></a>

I have been able to circumvent this error with the following code.

<a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[http://....?dtype=C&func=front&state=&style=]]></xsl:text></xsl:attribute>

Is this the correct method to achieve my desired result?

Thank You,

Saverio Perugini
