HTML character entity issue

Hi All,

These are the environment details:
XSLT 2.0, saxon parser

I have an XML file, part of which looks like this
================ XML ========================
<kbs_prodgruppe_beschreibung> besonders sanft ab, ziehen sie leise ins
T|rschlo_ &lt; br/ &gt; und halten sie sicher geschlossen.
<kbs_prodgruppe_beschreibung>
==============================
==========

So instead of 'break'  tag [&lt;br/&gt;] it is HTML entity for that in
XML. I want to replace it with 'break' tag [<br>].

While generating the pdf the output is interpretation of HTML entities.

Please suggest a solution.

Thanks and Regards,
Atul
