Subject: Re: [xsl] Output < and > in the attribute from the style sheet From: Mansour Al Akeel <mansour.alakeel@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2012 19:00:20 -0400 |
Martin, thank you. I understand that the '>' doesn't have to be escaped in this case, and the final results is valid XML. However, I am wondering about a clean way to prevent the serializer from escaping it in the attributes. Currently, the combination of <xsl:text> and CDATA, is working fine, but it's ugly as I loose syntax highlight, and indentation. That is why I am looking for a better a way. Thank you.
