Hi there, we're hoping to use the 'add this' tool in some of our pages. When speaking with the add this support team, they told us we had to use the legacy markup which looks like this:

<a class="addthis_button_compact icon icon-share" addthis:title="{title}" addthis:url="{path}" href="{path}" title="Share"></a>

My issues is that I'm unable to save the xslt format with the : in it. I tried to use <!--#protect and <!--#passthrough and <!--#START-CODE to try to get Cascade to process the {variables} but allow the :

I know I'm missing something small, any help, as always appreciated.

Thanks!

Brendon

   Hey Brendon,

   Try adding a namespace for 'addthis' at the top of your XSLT Format. For example:
   

   <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns:addthis="http://www.addthis.com/help/api-spec">
   

   Then, you probably won't even need to use any passthrough/protect code sections.

   Let me know if that does the trick.

   Thanks

   Hey Brendon,

   Just wanted to make sure you saw [my previous comment](http://help.hannonhill.com/discussions/xslt-formats/6471-allowing-in-xslt-output#comment_38494114). Let me know if that helps.

   I totally forgot to reply, yes that did the trick! Thank you!
