RE: [xsl] problem with processing CDATA tags in xml

["Robby Pelssers" <robby.pelssers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Martin,

Actually I generate 2 kinds....

- xhtml (web rendition)
- DITA map/topics (which they import into framemaker to produce nice PDF's
showing their product information.

But even DITA recognizes these <sub> and <sup> tags just as AdobeFramemaker
does, so we use them for all publications actually.

Kind regards,
Robby

still want to disable-output-escaping so the browser will recognize <sub> and

result in invalid xml.

You will need to explain in more detail what you want to achieve.
Do you have different stylesheets, some outputting XML, some HTML? Or in
what case do you want a CDATA section and in what case do you want to
output HTML elements like 'sub'?
