Correct. Just a typo.

Well, my english is not so good, so I try again another explaination of my
problem:

I want to create three different HTML file using XML/XSLT. They have the same
content but very different layouts (one "normal", one for PDA and one for
printing). The XML file is a file programm.xml
(http://www.etes.de/files/programm.xml):

--- snip ---
<?xml version="1.0"  encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<programm>
  <zeitraum>September - Oktober 2002</zeitraum>
  <veranstaltungen>

    <termin>
      <datum>Sa, 14.9.</datum>
      <url>http://www.deutsches-museum.de/</url>
      <titel>Besuch des Deutschen Museums in München</titel>
      <starttext>ganztätig</starttext>
      <zusatztext>
        mit von Kepler-SeminaristInnen geleiteten Führungen in der Abteilung
Pharmazie<br/>
        Teilnahme nur nach Rücksprache und Anmeldung
      </zusatztext>
    </termin>

    <termin>
      ...
    </termin>
    ...
  </veranstaltungen>
</programm>
--- snap ---

You can see the <zusatztext> tag here (tag names are German - soory :-). It
contains a tag <br> which should appear in the final HTML code. The XSLT file
for conversion is for example programm-html.xsl.
(http://www.etes.de/files/programm-html.xsl;  It produces a part of an HTML
file which is included in a bigger template.)

--- snip ---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1" />
  <xsl:template match="/">

<CENTER>

<P><FONT size="+2">Kepler-Seminar für Naturwissenschaften</FONT></P>
[...]

<xsl:for-each select="programm/veranstaltungen/termin">
[...]
  <xsl:if test="zusatztext">
    <xsl:value-of select="zusatztext" /><BR />
  </xsl:if>
[...]
</xsl:for-each>

</CENTER>

</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
--- snap ---

Here you can see the usage of thex "zusatztext".

The problem with the example above is that I get here for value-of as shown
above:

        mit von Kepler-SeminaristInnen geleiteten Führungen in der Abteilung
Pharmazie
        Teilnahme nur nach Rücksprache und Anmeldung

and not the wanted:
 
        mit von Kepler-SeminaristInnen geleiteten Führungen in der Abteilung
Pharmazie<br>
        Teilnahme nur nach Rücksprache und Anmeldung

> Can you give an example of the input and output of your transformation.

URLs:
  http://www.etes.de/files/programm.xml
  http://www.etes.de/files/programm-html.xsl


Perhaps a way to get a solution:
How would I have to write down special characters like < in the XML code
above?


Thanks,
Jan
