Subject: Re: [xsl] To avoid converting html entities From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2005 15:50:46 +0100 |
I want to select (and output) the above data, without converting the html entities above to < & >, etc. The XML parser will already have done that conversion before XSLT sees the input, as that's what parsers do. On output the system will do the reverse translation writing < as < and & and & so the end result will be as you wish with these entity references being used in the result. Or at least that would be the default behaviour unless you have stopped that happening by using disable-output-escaping="yes" It is rarely a good idea to use this attribute unless you really need it. In this case however you are using d-o-e inside an attribute where it is specified as having no effect so < should be written out as < Is that not what you are getting? Another quick question.. Is it possible to write the above xsl code in such a way that the input tag is output as <input />, and _not_ <input></input> The choice of empty element syntax is not under the control of the stylesheet author. Most sytems do use /> for empty elements. msxml uses either syntax depending on some heuristics that try to make it use the same form as used for input. so actually using the equivalent form <input type="hidden" value="{PostData}"/> might work and persuade msxml to use the /> syntax.
