From the XML point of view, <a></a> and <a /> are totally equivalent. There's no way in XSLT to enforce one of these outputs. A single space is stripped from the stylesheet, so using <a name="{$id}"> </a> won't help. However <a name="{$id}"><xsl:text> </xsl:text></a> should do it. What I don't understand is, why <a name=.../> renders a link. There's no href attribute. I've never heard that browsers have a problem with link anchors. Anyway, hope the xsl:text trick helps. Oliver
