Subject: Re: [xsl] Output CDATA tags From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 13:58:58 GMT |
there is nothing in the XPath data model that corresponds to a CDATA section, CDATA is just a falg to the parser to treat < and & as characters rather than markup. When you have <xsl:template match="td" mode="markup"> <xsl:text><![CDATA[</xsl:text> <xsl:copy-of select="child::node()"/> <xsl:text>]]></xsl:text> </xsl:template> The XML parser treats this in the same way as <xsl:template match="td" mode="markup"> <xsl:text></xsl:text> <xsl:copy-of select="child::node()"/> <xsl:text></xsl:text> </xsl:template> and that is what the XSLT engine sees, which is why you get the result you get. Going from <p><span>xxx</span>...</p> to <![CDATA[<p><span>xxx</span>...</p>]]> is exactly the same as going from <p><span>xxx</span>...</p> to <p><span>xxx</span>...</p> and you coude it in the same way, with a template that does something like <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:text><</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of seelct="name()"/> <xsl:text>></xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates/> <xsl:text>/<</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of seelct="name()"/> <xsl:text>></xsl:text> </xsl:template> (more complete examples (eg handling attributes) in the faq or archives of this list) If you want the serialiser to use the CDATA form rather than < (although you shouldn't really care which it uses) add cdata-section-elements="td" to your xsl:stylesheet element.
