Hello and thanks in advance for the help. I'm scratching my head on trying to convert a string of serialized xml in a processing instruction back into XML.

I'm restricted to XSLT 2.0 and am using Saxon 9.1. When I treat the simply copy and past the xml into the stylesheet everything works (see variable $s2), but when breaking the string out of the processing instruction the elements remain serialized:

input:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root xmlns:bcl="http://bcl">
<?pi a="&lt;bcl:e&gt;Test&lt;/bcl:e&gt;" ?>
</root>

A PI does not contain parsed character data so your data is double escaped.

Does

<xsl:template match="processing-instruction('pi')"> <root xmlns:bcl="http://example.com/bcl"><xsl:value-of select="saxon:get-pseudo-attribute('a')" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></root> </xsl:template>

work with your version of Saxon?

With Saxon 9.7 PE that gives

<root xmlns:bcl="http://example.com/bcl"><bcl:e>Test</bcl:e></root>
