How to get the first letter of an XML attribute with XSLT?

I have this XML:

<entry>
  <title handle="foo">Foo</title>
</entry>

How can I get the first letter of the handle attribute using XSLT 1.0?

Thanks for any help.

You can use the substring XPath function.

For example, the following XPath expression will evaluate to 'f' for your example XML.

substring(/entry/title/@handle, 1, 1)
