hi Jarno,
I think , a statement like
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
&lt;&gt;
</xsl:text>

would result in an output like <> . please advice..

Hi,

Well, no. The LESS-THAN SIGN will always be escaped in attribute values - GREATER-THAN SIGN doesn't have to be, but the XSLT serializer may escape it, too.

Well, that wouldn't work here either. For one, you can't have CDATA sections inside attribute values; and even if the original question would have been how to output <% as text nodes, using CDATA wouldn't disable the serializer from escaping the LESS-THAN SIGN.
