Subject: [xsl] Xalan Vs. Output Escaping From: Matthew Jaquish <mjaquish@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2002 11:41:56 -0800 |
Hello fellow intrepid XSL adventurers, My team was recently quite aggravated by a possible bug (or feature?) in Xalan's output escaping. We were using output encoding="html", and the values we were comparing were "&" and "%3A". We were seeing unanticipated results among the various methods of getting a value. Let's watch the translation of characters in Xalan (doe = disable-output-escaping): XML Source : ..... & ....... & ....... %3A ..... value-of doe="no" : ..... & ... & ... %3A ..... value-of doe="yes": ..... & ....... & ....... %3A ..... curly braces {} : ..... & ....... & ....... %253A ... According to this, doesn't it seem that using curly braces should give us the same value as either of the value-of methods? Why are the curly braces give a totally different value for the "%3A" value? Am I missing something here about the behavior of curly braces, or is there a bug in Xalan that I was unaware of? Hopefully this will also help other people using Xalan, as well. I appreciate your insight, ...Matt XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
