XSLT: Convert commercial at to its character entity

[Anonymous]

If I set as output method to HTML, it does what I want.

<html>
<body>
<p>
<a href=" Doe</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>

If I set it to XHTML, it doesn't but I need to generate XHTML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
<body>
<p>
<a href=" Doe</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>

Using Xalan/J 2.5.2 for transformation if it matters...

people.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<people>
<person id="john">
<name>John Doe</name>
<email></email>
</person>
</people>

people.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="application/xml"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xslutput method="xhtml"/> <!-- CHANGE HERE TO HTML -->

<xsl:template match="people">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="person"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="person">
<xsl:variable name="protocol" select="'mailto'"/>
<xsl:variable name="username" select="substring-before(email,'@')"/> <xsl:variable name="hostname" select="substring-after(email,'@')"/>

<p>
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="$protocol"/>:<xsl:value-of
select="$username"/>
<!-- original try
<xsl:text>&amp;</xsl:text><xsl:text>#64;</xsl:text>
-->
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<![CDATA[@]]>
</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$hostname"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="name"/>
</a>
</p>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Why do you want to? <a href="
Doe</a> is perfectly correct in both HTML and XHTML. The commercial at sign does not have to be an entity reference.

Ever heard of email harvesting? Page(s) would be on very public site and we get enough SPAM as is. Obfuscating email addresses by character entity conversion is an effective means of hiding in plain sight.
