Hi,

I am wrting xslt which creates html document using xslt and i want to put part of the document in html for viewing.

I use something like this

<td>
<b>Message:</b>
<pre style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:8pt; color:#000000;">
<xsl:copy-of select="//listingEvent"/>
</pre>
</td>

it does put the part of xml document in html but it does not escape < and > characters and i am not able to see the tag in html.

Can anyone please help me so that i can escape characters in output so i can view xml in html document along with other infomation.

Any help or different solution will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You will not be able to output the xml as actual tags then eg, with the < and >. I suggest a recursive style template, something like:

<xsl:apply-templates mode="escape"/>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="escape">
<xsl:text>&lt;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:text>="</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>

<xsl:apply-templates mode="escape"/>

<xsl:text>&lt;/</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

This doesn't cover everything, (eg processing instructions or comments) but I'm not sure how much you want to output as tags.
