Re: disable-output-escaping

David-

The HTML tags are just ignored when they stand alone inside an element (at 
least when using XT).  They don't appear at all in the output, not even as 
literals.

By putting them inside a CDATA *and* diabling the output-escaping, they are 
processed just as you would expect in the output HTML.

The problem is that I want to have, as an XML-element, a large HTML file 
that will be properly rendered upon the <xsl:value-of> call.  Using CDATA 
and disable-output-escaping works perfectly, *when* I am creating static 
HTML pages through XT.  However, when I use cocoon (eventually to be used to 
dynamically create the output) the HTML tags appear literally.

Thanks for your interest, and thanks in advance if you can offer any advice.
