Sorry, can't be done. The XSLT processor doesn't get to see where the CDATA sections were in the source document. Remember that CDATA sections are just a keyboard shortcut. The following are all exactly equivalent, and your XSLT processor will see the same input whichever form you use: <e>">"</e> <e>">"</e> <e><![CDATA[">"]]></e> As a matter of interest, *why* do you want to preserve the CDATA sections in the input document? If it's really important, you could put the XML through a Perl program or similar that converts the CDATA section to an XML element as a pre-processing phase and then does the reverse as a post-process.
