Hi,

I believe something like this should do it!

<xsl:value-of select="letter_text" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

Hi there,

I have an XML document that has some XML mark-up that is stored as
entities so I have something like:

<letter_text>&lt;p&gt;Some random letter text :(.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will
this work?&lt;/p&gt;</letter_text>

Now the encoded data should be valid XHTML fragments (though if I was
parsing it as a root node I would expect there would be multiple roots
causing issues) which I would like to use as XHTML in my result
document.

I've looked at saxon:parse
(http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/functions/parse.html)
though that seems specific to CDATA and expects a single root node XML
document.

Any idea on if this can be done. If not; as the document generally isn't
that complex would it maybe be worth trying to text process it and
create new nodes in the tree; though I'm aware that XSLT isn't really
very good for text processing.

Thanks!

Gary
