Re: [xsl] How to modify a RDF document and preserve the <!DOCTYPE rdf:RDF[ and entity references?

[Alex Muir <alex.g.muir@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. The enties are added I assume to reduce the
size of the document in this case.

I came across this post as well.
http://p2p.wrox.com/xslt/37057-preserving-entity-references.html

"The workaround people sometimes use is to edit the file before
transformation to replace all & characters by, say, 6, and then edit
the pilcrows back to ampersands after the transformation." MK

So probably then I'll just write a xsl that used unparsed-text() and
analyze-string to do that work around and go from there.

Thanks Much Guys
