Re: embed Base64 content into xml element

Thank you Hermann for an answer in the exact context.

Because I was planning to run this transformation out of the DataPower
box, just wondering if there is some function available in XSLT 2.0
which can do this.

Now that it is known, I will look for a scripted approach.

Best Regards,
Suresh
