RE: [xsl] Replace new lines by <br> and double quote with special char: Problem retaining HTML tags

[<Ambika.Das@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To be more specific, the output is as follows, in a single line.
Elem Id, News Details
1234, "<p>    This is some data </p><br><p></p><br><p>    This is some
special characters &lt;AHLN.AS&gt; </p><br><p>    A group of students
have gone to picnic. </p><br><p>     </p><br><PRE>    ** This is another
special tag<br></PRE></text><br></elem>"

Thanks & Regards,

My apologies. There was a typo in the XML. Once again I am giving the
input and output.

Input is as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<elem id="1234" date="14 Aug 2006" time="13:36">

<title>Sample Title</title>
<text>
<p>    This is some data </p>
<p>     </p>
<p>    This is some special characters &lt;AHLN.AS&gt; </p>
<p>    A group of students have gone to picnic. </p>
<p>     </p>
<PRE>    ** This is another special tag


  </PRE></text>
</elem>

The output required is as follows.

Elem Id, News Details
1234, "detailed data with character replacement"

The point to note here is that there are only two lines because the
output is sent for further processing.

The string "detailed data with character replacement" represents the
output after XML transformation. The new lines replaced with <br>,
double quotes with ~ and the whole string in one line.

The problem is that when we retain the HTML tags, we do not get the
output in one line.


Thanks & Regards,

did you try the template I posted earlier? Why start a new thread with
an identical question?

Once again, your sample input is not well formed, and you did not post a
complete version of your required output, also it's better for the
archives if you give threads sensible subject lines. (the subject line
above could apply to any message on this list.)

I just tried the template that I posted previously and it seems to
work...
You just need to fill in the replace template and templates for any
elements that you need to process by somthing other than copy.
