I've got an XML file, applying an XSL to it and want to display it in IE6.0 so want to add some html formatting

example source xsl:

<br/>
<xsl:text>Distance: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="totaldistance"/>
<br/>

I go to the WYSIWG screen and apply 'blue' text colour. to say 'Distance:'. It goes blue on the screen.

I look at the source tab and SS has done the following:

<xsl:text>
<font color="#0000ff">Distance:</font><![CDATA[ ]]>
</xsl:text>

so far so good.

I go back to the WYSIWYG tab and 'Distance:' is not blue any more!?
I go back to the source tab and I've got my original

<br/>
<xsl:text>Distance: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="totaldistance"/>
<br/>


This also happens if I try to 'bold' an item.

Any ideas? or just using it wrong?

SS Enterprise release 2 , 519d

We can reproduce this problem, and we are investigating. The issue seems related to formatting of data contained in xsl:text instructions; if you remove xsl:text things work as expected.

Thanks.

Just a follow up.

The problem is caused by the peculiar nature of xsl:text; when formatting text inside an xsl:text tag from the WYSIWYG environment, the proper formatting elements are created as *children* of xsl:text. As xsl:text doesn't output any sub-element (but only text nodes), those formatting instructions are lost when switching back and forth to/from text; but they wouldn't be properly rendered as XSLT result in the first place.

We have changed the behavior of WYSIWYG to force formatting applied to text inside xsl:text instructions to be global to the whole xsl:text container; that's the only way to allow formatting elements to be created as ancestors of the xsl:text element, preventing them from vanishing when the processor is run.

The change in behavior will be part of the next major Stylus Studio version.
