[xsl] NEW2!!!showing HTML data in XML files using XSL!!!

[Rosa I-Ting Cheng <Rosa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

what if the HTML text is between <![CDATA[text is <I>here</I>]]> in the XML
file?
how can I copy that section and display as HTML normally.  Cos at the
moment, I get something like this:
text is <I>here</I>
on the browser, the XSL seem to have changed the '<' and '>' into &lt; and
&gt;

Why won't you be using <xsl:copy-of select="root/text"/> ?

xsl:copy-of means
  1. create a copy of the current node in the result tree
  2. create copies of all its descendant nodes as well

This is what you want. Don't use CDATA sections. If you really wanted to use
them, you would use them in your XML, not your XSL, and you would be
changing
the meaning of what is inside your <text> element.
