Mike, You mentioned that XSLT was not the best tool for mixing HTML and XML. What would you recommend using when you need to display XML with images, graphics, tables, etc... in a browser? Thanks, Brad -----Original Message----- From: Mike Brown [mailto:mike@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, June 11, 2001 7:00 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: HTML in CDATA Robert Dahnke wrote: > If I have HTML in a CDATA region like here: > > <article><![CDATA[Test News<br><br>Test News<br><br>Test News]]></article> CDATA sections are just a convenience so that you don't have to escape the markup in the source document. It doesn't make the character data mean anything different than Test News<br><br>Test News etc etc. If you want to produce non-well-formed output like you describe, you need to use disable-output-escaping="yes" when you create the text node with value-of. Ideally you should not be trying to embed one form of SGML in another. XSLT is not the best tool for mixing legacy HTML with XML. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ _ mike j. brown, software engineer at | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ webb.net in denver, colorado, USA | personal: http://hyperreal.org/~mike/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
