Literal text outside `xsl:text`

Literal text (other than whitespace) must not sit directly inside an xsl: instruction. Wrap it in xsl:text. The text can also be wrapped in xsl:variable, xsl:param, xsl:with-param, xsl:attribute,xsl:comment, xsl:processing-instruction and xsl:message. You can also use text inside html-tags or in other non-XSL elements.

<xsl:if test=".!=''">
  Hello!

<xsl:if test=".!=''">
  <xsl:text>Hello!</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
