Once you strip "<", ">", and "&" of their special meaning as element and entity reference boundaries, they will forever be just those individual characters. The consequences of this is are that they cannot be represented in a valid XML or HTML document as anything other than entity references like < > and &. There is actually a way to have two wrongs make a right by disabling that output escaping on a case-by-case basis, but you're really using the wrong approach if you are trying to treat markup as text. Let that structured information have some dignity. Try this instead of the <xsl:text>...</xsl:text>: <xsl:variable name="MyResultTreeFragment"> <td valign="bottom" align="right" nowrap="nowrap"> <font face="Arial" size="-1" color="Silver"> <b>  Welcome, Brett</b> </font> </td> </xsl:variable> <xsl:copy-of select="$MyResultTreeFragment"/> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
