Subject: RE: [xsl] treating a CDATA node as Elements nodes From: Arian Hojat <arianhojat2000@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2005 11:50:47 -0700 (PDT) |
whooops thats what i meant, a CDATA is a simple text node, just trying to get more info out of it if possible... David was mentioning that "some xslt systems have extension functions to allow you to execute a [xml] parser" with an extension function. Does Saxon have an extension to do this and/or how would one go about doing this? I am not sure if I will ever use it, just curious when I was looking at bringing rss feeds into flash. --- Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > CDATA sections are viewed as a single node that > can't > > be split up even more in template rules right? > > Wrong.
