 Chris thanks for the concern, but the reason why I want to do it is valid, and I wasn't really looking for commentary. I only gave a simple example. My actual problem is a bit more complex. I am creating one XML document that is acting as a transport mechanism to other systems. The cdata section encapsulated in the display tag contains information that is only understood by the recipient objects. In your implementation the objects that package and send the data would be enormously complex because they would have to understand the data structures of every object they send data to. -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Chris Bayes Sent: Monday, February 26, 2001 7:36 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Creating a cdata section using xsl Paul, Why on earth would you want to do this? If it's valid xml which it must be to get this far why write it out as a cdata. What is wrong with <doc> <display> <html> <body>John Doe</body> </html> <display> </doc> Something not mentioned on here ever is the cdata-section-elements attribute on the xsl:output element. So <xsl:output method="xml" cdata-section-elements="body" /> will get you <body><![CDATA[John Doe]]></body> Which isn't what you want. But if you really want to make life difficult for yourself then <xsl:template match="/"> <doc> <display> <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="concat('<','![CDATA[')" /> <html> <body><xsl:value-of select="/person/name" /></body> </html> <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="concat(']]', '>')" /> </display> </doc> </xsl:template> I don't think you want to really do that though.
