Can you explain what "your output tree will not work as expected unless it is going to be reparsed" means? If you go, in a template, <p> this <b>and</b> that </p> then your result tree contains a p node with three children a text node with value "{newline}this " a b node, which itself has one text node child with value "and". a text node with value " that{newline}" If you go, in a template, <p><xsl:text disable-output-encoding="yes"> this <b>and</b> that </xsl:text></p> then your result tree contains a p node with one child a text node with value "{newline}this <b>and</b> that{newline}" together with some magic extra information that if writing to a file that < and > should be written as < and > not < >. so if you are writing to a file, in the first case the XSL system walks that tree and produces <p> this <b>and</b> that </p> as literal characters, the browser parses that as (X)HTML and renders it as a paragraph with a bold "and". In the second case you get the same result. _but_ if you are not writing to a file but instead you are passing the entire tree straight to a renderer (as happens when you embed an XSL engine in IE or in FOP or in any other XML system that shares the in memory tree with the transformation system) then in the second case the tree the renderer gets does _not_ include a b node, it just has a text node containing the characters <b> and the special magic XSL information about how those characters should be rendered has no effect: it doesn't suddenly make <b>and</b> into a b node as the text string is never parsed as XML syntax, the renderer is being passed a `ready parsed' XML tree. So what appears in your IE5 window is the characters this <b>and</b> that literally. > What about the DOCTYPE issue when XT wouldn't output one? Is there a > non-hack solution to that? the last few xt releases have supported controlling doctype with xsl:output so I am not sure what the problem is?
