Hi,
<!----->/data() is printed as - , while "-” as - (even if both are xs:string): is there a reason? In any case, is there a function to convert <!-----> into - ? Thanks.Best, Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,
The reason is the specification: entities in comments are adopted without change (i.e. in their literal representation) [1]. The following example expression will be successfully evaluated:
<!--{xyz;-->/data()Cheers, Christian
