    One way to handle those characters is to use the translate() function to remove them before doing the test. If the third argument of translate() is empty, then the matching characters in the second argument disappear, and all other characters are left untouched. Something like:

    string(number(translate(., '<>', '')))

    Thanks Bob for the tip about translate. I finally worked it out - coding
    as follows:

    <xsl:templatename="table.cell.block.properties">
    <xsl:variablename="stringanglesymbol">
    <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:whentest="contains(., '<')">
    <xsl:value-ofselect="(translate(., '<', ''))"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:whentest="contains(., '>')">
    <xsl:value-ofselect="(translate(., '>', ''))"/>
    </xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:variable>


    <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:whentest="(ancestor-or-self::d:table/@tabstyle = 'numbers' or
    ancestor-or-self::d:table/@tabstyle = 'numberstripe') and
    not(ancestor::d:thead or
    ancestor::d:tfoot) and preceding-sibling::d:entry and
    ((string(number($stringanglesymbol)) != 'NaN') or (string(number(.)) !=
    'NaN'))">
    <xsl:attributename="text-align">right</xsl:attribute>


    <xsl:attributename="margin-right">
    <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:whentest="self::d:entry/d:footnote">
    <xsl:value-ofselect="$cellfootnoteindent"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:value-ofselect="$cellnumberindent"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
    <xsl:text>%</xsl:text>
    </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise/>
    </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>
