RE: help writing special characters

[hbarakat]

Hi,

I tried adding the ';' after &#125, but the output contained an
*additional* semi-colon that I don't want. What can I do to get rid of the
extra semi-colon?

you need ; after 125

<output:apply-templates select="root/{&#123;&#36;idName;&#125;}" />
