Author: chris au

Hi,

i have the following problem. One of the systems I use automatically generate xml data of which some of this data is embedded html and example would be

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<TEST1>
<Comment>
<p><b>I would like to know what is going on</b></p>
<p><i>this is a test system</i></p>
</Comment>
</TEST1>

the stylesheet I am applying looks like this

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="TEST1">
<table border ="1">
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Comment
</tr>

</table>

<xsl:template match="Comment">
<td>Comment</td><td> <xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


The output I am getting after the rendering is something like this when I view the source

<table>
<tr>
<td>
Comment
</td>
<td>
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;I would like to know what is going on&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
</td>
</tr>
</table>

There is nothing I can do to modify the xml as the xml producer is not provided by me.

Any help is appreciated.

Chris

Hi Chris,
I don't see why your XSL engine should process the xsl:value-of on the "Comment" node by serializing also the element tags; which processor are you using? Are you sure the source XML has the text you wrote, or is it using a CDATA section and/or entity references?

hi Alberto,

thanks for the quicky response, what do you mean by processor? I am 100% sure the xml file being generated is of the same format as the one I have displayed and no CDATA tags are being used. At the moment I am using a proprietary product which generates the XML and all I tell this product where my XSL file is located if I want to change the output to html.

Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris,
an "XSLT processor" is a software that reads the instructions written in the XSLT stylesheet and executes them on the input XML document. As you say you have a proprietary software that accepts an XSLT stylesheet as parameter, I would look at the documentation of that tool to know which XSLT processor it is using under the cover (maybe it's a 3rd-party engine, maybe they wrote one by themself).

From what I can see from the snippet you published, when that processor finds xsl:value-of working on an element node, it returns the serialized XML instead of the concatenation of its child text nodes. You could try work around this non-conformance by using <xsl:value-of select="string(.)"/>

Hope this helps,
Alberto
