Hi,

I've got a strange requirement to transform

<sample>
 <name>
   <firstName>Mickey</firstName>
   <lastName>Mouse</lastName>
 </name>
</sample>

into

<sample>
 <person>
   <![CDATA[
     <name>
       <firstName>Mickey</firstName>
       <lastName>Mouse</lastName>
     </name>
   ]]>
 </person>
</sample>

I've written this XSL

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml"/>


 <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
   <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
   </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match='*[name() = "sample"]'>
   <sample>
     <person>
       <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
         &lt;![CDATA[
       </xsl:text>
       <xsl:copy-of select="./node()"/>
       <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
         ]]&gt;
       </xsl:text>
     </person>
   </sample>
 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

that gets me to

<sample>
 <person>
   &lt;![CDATA[
     <name>
       <firstName>Mickey</firstName>
       <lastName>Mouse</lastName>
     </name>
   ]]&gt;
 </person>
</sample>

Unfortunately, this isn't good enough, for the system I am interfacing with. I can not figure out how I can insert an unescapted '<' into the output - I've read that '<' isn't allowed inside the xsl:text tag.

Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks for your time,

Jason
