Re: [xsl] XSLT 3: Possible to Get Unescaped Markup in Message Results?

["Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

According to the spec, a message produced by xsl:message is an XML document.
Saxon passes this document to the callback

MessageListener2.message(XdmNode content, QName errorCode, boolean terminate,
SourceLocator locator)
where content is the XML document, errorCode is the requested error code on
xsl:message, terminate indicates whether terminate=yes was requested, and
locator idenfies the originating xsl:message instruction.

What happens to the message after that is entirely under application control.

When you say you are generating formatted markup, I assume this means you are
generating text nodes containing angle brackets in their content (rather than
generating a tree of nodes).

You could of course write a MessageListener that simply outputs the string
value of the supplied message document, in which case there would be no
escaping applied. But it looks as if that's not what oXygen is doing.
