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>
