Marc FeickertSubject: Cannot get CDATA to render properly when using copy or copy-of
Author: Marc Feickert

I have some xml that gets output to me and contains stray HTM tags or does not escape < or & in the text areas. this causes me to have ill formed XML, and I cannot do transforms on it without a painstaking process of finding each error (the file is over 200MB). So I wrote a Perl script to put all the HTML in my document in CDATA.

Problem I have is that when I now try to transform it by using a for-each loop and copy-of to get each individual document I want, my CDATA area in the result XML have all the <>& escaped as htm entities, like so:

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"&gt;This will
enable you to run PAF 5 on a computer that does not have PAF 5
installed. To run the program:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


. How can I get it to output the actual characters? disable-output-escaping only works in a value-of statement.

Maybe you should take another approach and try to replace the special signs in the HTML file via a small program before calling the XSLT instead of putting CDATA around it.
