Hello,

Is it possible to build an html link into your xml, and have it rendered in
your xslt style sheet as html?

In the example below, I want to show the description for a product as a
link.  I have problems with the "<" and ">" and the "&" in the URL. If I
don't encode these characters then I get errors, as expected.  However if I
encode all of the special characters like they are supposed to be, then my
page displays the link as text, not as a link.

What do I have to do to make the display render as a link and not text.

I hope that makes sense.

<product page="1" expand="0x00793820" parent="501">
 <vendor>Grumbacher</vendor>
 <description><a
href='/olc/drill-down2.w?parent=501&page=1&expand=0x00793820'
onclick='top.checkClickFlag();'>MAX ArtistsÂ? Oil Colors</a></description>
 <subproduct parent="501">
  <description>37 ml. Tubes</description>
 </subproduct>
 <subproduct parent="501">
  <description>150 ml. Tube</description>
 </subproduct>
</product>

Jackson
