Xslt html in an attribute - Help

I'm trying to write a macro that will output the following:

<a href="#"><img src="img/uploads/slide1.gif" rel="img/uploads/slide1.gif" alt="Slider image" title="<h2>Total Hub <em>your great service comes from our great service</em></h2>" /></a>


I know it's a simple question but I'm really struggling to work out how to generate the title attributes test as it contains html tags. The text parts are sliderTitle and bodyText. So far I have:

    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor::root//homepageslider [@isDoc]">
        <xsl:variable name="imageId" select="sliderImage/text()" />
        <xsl:if test="$imageId != 0">         
          <xsl:variable name="image" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($imageId,1)" />
            <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
              <img src="{$image/umbracoFile}" rel="{$image/umbracoFile}" alt="{@nodeName}" title="" />             
          </a>
       </xsl:if>       
    </xsl:for-each>

Thanks in advance,
Ed

Hi Edward,

You can not have real HTML in an attribute, but you can escape the tag-delimiters and have the receiving end unescape them if you need it - then you'd do something like this:

<xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor::root//homepageslider[@isDoc]">
    <xsl:variable name="imageId" select="sliderImage" />
    <xsl:if test="normalize-space($imageId)">
        <xsl:variable name="image" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($imageId, false())" />
        <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
            <img src="{$image/umbracoFile}" rel="{$image/umbracoFile}" alt="{@nodeName}" title="&lt;h2&gt;Total Hub &lt;em&gt;your great service comes from our great service&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;" />             
        </a>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

Thanks Chirztian. I had tried this but not sure how to get it to output unescaped?

Ignore my previous comment! I had an issue with my sliders js which was adding confussion to the issue. All sorted now thanks!
