Hi Craig,


I think we should use "disable-output-escaping="yes"" here.


Below is the code for expected output.


<xsl:value-of select="replace($pattern,'(\{\{|\}\})','&lt;span
class=&quot;noProcess&quot;&gt;$1&lt;/span&gt;')"
disable-output-escaping="yes"/>



Regards,

Vishnu

Subject: [xsl] Including markup in a replace string


Hi All,

  I have code examples in some doc that are post processed in AngularJS. In
some cases the code examples include "{{" or "}}" which is significant to
Angular. I have a simple replace that I am using to wrap a no-process span
around the curly braces so the Angular process will ignore them.



  <xsl:value-of select="replace(.,'(\{\{|\}\})','&lt;span
class=&quot;noProcess&quot;&gt;$1&lt;/span&gt;')"/>



  The only problem is that the character entity is being output as a character
entity instead of less-than and greater-than characters.



  Is there a way to trick replace into outputting the less-than and
greater-than characters?



  I've tried entering the actual characters - doesn't work. I've tried
escaping the characters with backslashes - doesn't work either.



  So unless there's a way to trick replace I'll have to try analyze-string and
see if I can get what I need there.



Thanks,

  Craig



Here's an example of what I need:



<span class="noProcess">{{</span>This variable<span
class="noProcess">}}</span>
