Re: Building html links in xml

   I have problems with the "<" and ">" and the "&" in the URL. If I
   don't encode these characters then I get errors, as expected.  However if I
   encode all of the special characters like they are supposed to be, then my
   page displays the link as text, 

The & has to be & a m p ; otherwise your input is not well formed,
you don't want to encode the < as you want to have an a element in your
source

then you can copy it with

<xsl:template match="a">
 <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl;template>

assuming the template for the description element applies templates to
its children.
