RE: [xsl] Creating a cdata section using xsl

Paul,
Why on earth would you want to do this?
If it's valid xml which it must be to get this far why write it out as a
cdata. What is wrong with
<doc>
   <display>
            <html>
                <body>John Doe</body>
            </html>
   <display>
</doc>
Something not mentioned on here ever is the cdata-section-elements attribute
on the xsl:output element. So

<xsl:output method="xml" cdata-section-elements="body" />

will get you

<body><![CDATA[John Doe]]></body>

Which isn't what you want. But if you really want to make life difficult for
yourself then

<xsl:template match="/">
<doc>
   <display>
		<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"
select="concat('&lt;','![CDATA[')" />
            <html>
                <body><xsl:value-of select="/person/name" /></body>
            </html>
		<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="concat(']]', '&gt;')"
/>
   </display>
</doc>
</xsl:template>

I don't think you want to really do that though.

Ciao Chris
