a special char question

Hi all,

I have a piece of XML

<LOGS>
	<LOG TIME="Fri Jun 23 08:28:59 GMT+02:00 2000" LEVEL="1">&#x3c;</LOG>
	<LOG TIME="Fri Jun 23 08:28:59 GMT+02:00 2000" LEVEL="1">&#x3e;</LOG>
	<LOG TIME="Fri Jun 23 08:28:59 GMT+02:00 2000" LEVEL="1">&#x26;</LOG>
	<LOG TIME="Fri Jun 23 08:28:59 GMT+02:00 2000"
LEVEL="1">&#x3c;&#x26;&#x3e;</LOG>
	<LOG TIME="Fri Jun 23 08:28:59 GMT+02:00 2000" LEVEL="1">&#x3c;&#x3c;</LOG>
	<LOG TIME="Fri Jun 23 08:28:59 GMT+02:00 2000" LEVEL="1">&#x3e;&#x3e;</LOG>
</LOGS>


that represents logs from my system that are preprocessed while logging:
each time a log attempt is made i replace characters as following (is this
correct?):

& is replaced by &#x26;
< is replaced by &#x3c;
> is replaced by &#x3e;



and when the LogView is requested, I process it with the IBM Lotus processor
and with the stylesheet underneath.

However, in my browser I see

Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 <
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 >
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 &
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 <6162
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 <66
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 >70


instead of

Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 <
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 >
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 &
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 <&>
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 <<
Fri Jun 23 08:40:40 GMT+02:00 2000 >>


Altough this is only a test scenario which may never occur in my application
I need to know why are these characters not outputed well when being written
next to each other (the first 3 lines (stand-alone chars) are OK).




stylesheet template that does the work is:




<!-- Template rule for the LOGS element -->
 <xsl:template match="LOGS">
        <HTML>
        	<HEAD>
        		<TITLE>LOGS</TITLE>
        	</HEAD>
			<BODY bgcolor="#003399" link="#001133" vlink="#000000" TEXT="#FFCC00"
alink="#000022">

      			<TH bgcolor="#800000"><FONT SIZE="2">Time</FONT></TH>

					<xsl:for-each select="LOG">
					 	<TR bgcolor="#008000">
	          				<TD><FONT SIZE="2"><b><xsl:value-of

	          				<TD>
	          					<xsl:choose>
	          						<xsl:when test="@LEVEL='ERROR'">
		          						<!-- Error level -> red -> FF0000 -->
		          						<FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FF0000"><b><xsl:value-of

	          						</xsl:when>
	          						<xsl:when test="@LEVEL='WARNING'">
		          						<!-- Warning level -> almost red -> CD4232 -->

	          						<xsl:otherwise>
	          							<FONT SIZE="2"><b><xsl:value-of

	          						</xsl:otherwise>
	          					</xsl:choose>
	          				</TD>
	          			</TR>
					</xsl:for-each>
				</TABLE>
	    	</BODY>
		</HTML>
 </xsl:template>



can anyone help?

thanks in advance
