xsl:text

Adds a text node to the result tree.

Format


<xsl:text [disable-output-escaping="yes\|no"]> text_node_contents </xsl:text>

Description

The XSLT processor reports an error if instantiating text_node_contents results in anything other than characters.

You can also add text nodes to result documents by embedding the text in elements that you define.

You can specify the disable-output-escaping attribute of the xsl:text instruction. The allowed values are yes or no. The default is no. If the value is yes, the text node generated by instantiating the xsl:text element is output without any escaping. For example:


<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><</xsl:text>

This instruction generates the single character <.

Examples

The following fragment adds two text nodes by embedding text.

<xsl:template match = "/">
               

              
                <html>
                   
<head><title>Authors and Their Books</title></head>
                   
<body>
                   
<intro>Books in stock are listed here.</intro> 
                   
...
                   
</body>
                   
</html>
                   

                
              
</xsl:template>

The next example specifies the xsl:text instruction:


<xsl:text>Following is a list of authors.</xsl:text>

< Previous | Next >
