Re: xsl and xml CDATA or Not question

xml cdata
  hello experts, 
  If i have some html in a xml field like below. 
  <Content><![CDATA[ <br/>

check the faq:-), the usual advice is don't start from there, start from
here:
<Content> <br/>

If you really can't avoid using CDATA then
disable-output-escaping="yes"
(if your system supports it) is as good away out as any,
but hiding the markup in CDATA section makes it far less flexible.

  but my question is how do i take that contnet and be able to use it in a way
  with another "text only" xsl sheet that might make it output like this 

IF I had to do that I'd first use sed or some such to remove
<![CDATA[ and ]]> from the input document then you can style as
required.


  Any ideas. Im sure im missing something somewhere. Should i get rid of the
  CDATA and figure a way to output it as regular HTML in the formated version
  or what?

But it's much easier to format to html without the CDATA section as you
don't have to rely on the non-portable and architecturally dubious 
disable-output-escaping="yes" hack.
You'd just have
<xsl:template match="Content">
 <xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
</xsl:template>
