Hi,

I'm having the following problem:

I'm using XSL to transform XML into HTML.
One of the XML fields I use contains (well-formed) HTML.

The XML is as follows:

- <NEWSITEM>
- <ID>1</ID>
- <TITLE>Some Title</TITLE>
- <BODY>
-
CDATA[
This contains HTML
<a href="somelink.asp">More.</a>
]]>
</BODY>
</NEWSITEM>

When using the following XSL,

...
<xsl:value-of select="BODY"/>
...

I get the following output

This contains...
etc...

How can I avoid this?
I've already tried to use the attribute disable-output-escaping, but it makes no difference...

Can anyone help me out on this?

Thx,

Why are you putting the HTML part of your XML document in a CDATA section?
Try removing it from the CDATA section, you should find that the literal
tags (i.e. the <a> tags) get copied across automatically.

If it's well-formed, there's no reason to escape it.

So remote the CDATA stuff, then later use xsl:copy-of instead of
xsl:value-of.
