Nick BondSubject: Finding an alternative to disable-output-escaping

Can anyone help me with this XSLT problem? I'm a novice so the solution may be obvious to you but I've been stuck on it for 2 days! It involves finding an alternative to using disable-output-escaping = "yes", as this method has stopped working since I switched my web hosting service. My old web host used PHP4 with Sabletron 1.0 and my new service uses PHP5 with libxslt Version 1.1.15

I'm building a simple CMS for a web site and am storing all the content in XML files. In particular I have a node value which contains HTML so it's stored as CDATA. Here's an example snippet of my XML...

<content>
<article><![CDATA[<p>Hello world</p>]]></article>
</content>

I'm transforming this XML via PHP with an XSLT stylesheet that contains, amongst other things, the following...

<div><xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="/content/article"/></div>

Using my old set-up (Sabletron) the HTML output was unescaped and came out the way I wanted i.e.

<div><p>Hello world</p></div>

But with the new set-up the resulting HTML is...

<div>&lt;p&gt;Hello world&lt;/p&gt;</div>

... obviously not what i want.

I've searched the web looking for alternatives to disable-output-escaping but can only find advice about not using it - no suggested alternatives. Is there a better way of getting that HTML from the XML node and outputting it 'as is' in the transformation??

Help gratefully received

Nick

Can you use copy-of instead? Eg:
<div><xsl:copy-of select="/content/article"/></div>

Thanks James,

I just tried taking the html out of CData and then using xsl:copy-of and it worked! I'd hoped it would be that simple. I told you I was a novice didnt I? :)

Now i just have to validate the HTML when it goes into the XML and it's all good.

Thanks again
Nick
