So given the following XML
<someXML>
<something>Adam said, "This is a lot of work!"</something>
<something>Adam also said, "This is a lot of work!"</something>
</someXML>
I want to get the strings <<Adam said, >> and <<Adam also said, >>
can I use
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(something, '"')" />
and exect everything to work out OK? My problem is that I can't really
guarantee that I'm going to have either the character or the entity in my
source.
