Thanks Michael. I'm trying to do this using Oracle so I haven't got access to Saxon. I'm just trying to find out if I can call an equivalent Oracle command but Google keeps pointing me to http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/oracle.xml.parser.v2.Extensions which doesn't seem to exist any more. I really wish they'd stop messing about with their site. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kay [mailto:mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 27 April 2005 11:02 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] Getting useful data from this XML They call this an XML feed? I struggled with this at first, until I realized that they have not only committed the crime of escaping the nested markup so that < is written as <, they have actually double-escaped it so that it is written as &lt; This must be the most perverse XML document I have seen for a long time. Using disable-output-escaping will compensate for a single level of unnecessary escaping in the input, but it won't compensate for two levels. If your project allows you to use Saxon, I would suggest <p>1) <xsl:value-of select="saxon:parse(concat('<d>', @description, '</d>'))" disable-output-escaping="yes" xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/"/></p> which does the trick. Horrible input sometimes demands a horrible stylesheet. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
