Subject: cannot apply cdata-section-elements to xsl:copy-of select

Hi All,

Currently I have a scenario where in I m using
-----------------------
<xsl:output method="xml" cdata-section-elements="mycountry myartist" indent="yes" />
-----------------------

I have the following code in my xsl
--------------------------
<mycountry> <xsl:copy-of select="country/node()"/> </mycountry>
<myartist> <xsl:value-of select="artist"/> </myartist>
--------------------------
The reason I am using <xsl:copy-of select> is because the data in the country tag has html elements & I need to retain the same. This was not happening with <xsl:value-of select> tags.

But I also have to wrap that piece of data into CDATA tags because that is what the external application to whom we send the data demands.

So the cdata wraps the data correctly with <xsl:value-of> but fails to do the same for <xsl:copy-of>
I need to know how can i workaround the same.

Please do post your comments

Regards

Tony Lavinio

value-of converts the selection to a string. So you'll lose any
markup when using it.

copy-of retains the structure.

But what you appear to want is for the source to be serialized and
then wrapped in CDATA.

How is this related to Stylus Studio? This appears to be a general
XSLT-related question, which is better handled on the xsl-list mailing
list.
