RE: [xsl] output a literal CDATA section

[Georges Schmitz <georges.schmitz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Michael and Wendell,

you (Wendell) asked me to expose my requirements, so in short:

we need a documentation (I got the developers to accept DocBook as 
format) of an import/export interface in xml, where data is mapped in 
java objects. The import interface is in draft state, so there will be 
changes in future to the structure, as well as to the example values 
contained in the tags.

I use a demo import file (consisting in more than 200 object mappings) 
to generate a rough frame in DocBook containing all basic data 
structures and thus freeing me of annoying mass work (gain without pain 
:-)). Once I have a reasonable framework, I'll start editing the DocBook 
document, any further changes/extensions to the import structure will be 
documented manually (I will not repeat the transformation, the goal is 
to just reach a good starting point). To introduce CDATA sections, I 
decided to perform some search/replace actions in a (one time) post-process.

If I would use a GUI editor that hides the escaped characters, I 
wouldn't be bothered by them, but I'm hacking xml in ASCII mode, so 
CDATA sections are definitely more fun.

Regards,
Georges
