Subject: Printing out variables with escaped text. From: Warren Hedley <w.hedley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 15:22:54 +1200 |
I'm having a problem printing out variables that contain text declared with disable-output-escaping="yes" (and yes, I'm doing dodgy stuff, trying to create start and end tags where I shouldn't, before anyone tells me I shouldn't be doing this.) Consider the following stylesheet - it surprised me that this didn't work. --- START <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="html" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:variable name="bob"> <xsl:text><fake_element_no_escaping> </xsl:text> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><fake_element_escaping> </xsl:text> </xsl:variable> <xsl:value-of select="$bob" /> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> --- END The output from both Saxon and Xalan was (actually Saxon didn't bother escaping the >'s, but that's OK for now.) <fake_element_no_escaping> <fake_element_escaping> So I pulled out the spec and it suggested using <xsl:copy-of> instead of <xsl:value-of>. So I tried that and got : Saxon: <fake_element_no_escaping> <fake_element_escaping> Xalan: <fake_element_no_escaping> <fake_element_escaping> which is what I originally wanted. It's getting pretty hard to find bugs in Saxon nowadays, so I thought I'd post this to list instead of straight to Mike, to see if anyone had any thoughts on what is the correct behaviour here - the spec doesn't appear to address this issue specifically. Any comments? Thanks. -- Warren Hedley Department of Engineering Science Auckland University New Zealand XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
