RE: How to output the less-than sign (and not <)

I should have mentioned that the HTML snippet is itself XML data which has
been input by the user. The user has the option of including HTML tags in
his message. - Maria

<BillerComment>Upon pressing submit you are agreeing to the Terms and
Conditions on &lt;a href="http://www.bell.ca" target=newwindow&gt;
bell.ca&lt;/a&gt; the terms and conditions on Bell's site</BillerMessage>

Hi,

Is there any reason in particular why you can't do, for instance :

<xsl:template match="???">

  <xsl:text>Upon pressing submit you are agreeing to the Terms and
Conditions on </xsl:text>
  <a href="http://www.bell.ca" target="newwindow">bell.ca</a>
  <xsl:text> the terms and conditions on Bell's site</xsl:text>

</xsl:template>

?

Remember that the 'tags' are, especially in this case, valid XML, ergo valid
XSLT code.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Andreas
