 CDATA sections are not elements they are just syntactic sugar so you can enter < and & as < and & rather than < and &, In the Xpath model text may or may not be output using CDATA at the will of the system, just as it may use " or ' to surround attribute values, the original markup is not recorded so a stylesheet has no way to recreate it. Why do you mind? the reason I wanted the <![CDATA[]]> to come out in the output is that output of the identity transform is supposed to undergo another xslt transform. it is therefore necessary that the CDATA section beginning and end markers get represented as is, since these sections contain '<' characters. In case you'll ask why I'm using the identity transform altogether in this case, I hope it will suffice to say that there are logistical reasons relating to the development group in which I work. but I think it would be easy to see how this issue would come up if a person wanted to use a variant of the identity transform and still be able to do another transform afterwards - in fact, it would probably come up any time that a document is meant to be processed in 2 successive transformations. one would want the CDATA section markers to remain intact during the first transformation so that the document will come out right for the second. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
