entities in processing instructions

[Laszlo Kovacs <Laszlo.Kovacs@Sun.COM>]

Hi All,

I am trying to pass in an entity value into a processing instruction and 
it does not work the way I expected.

Say I have an entity called var-name.

If I have a PI like:

<?pi-name var="&var-name;" ?> &var-name;

Then inside the PI template "&var-name;" will turn up literally as 
opposed to the entity value. The second entity (after the PI) is 
properly translated during the xsl transformation so the ENTITY 
declaration is fine.

Anybody can help me to get the entity value inside the PI template?

Thanks,

Laszlo
