Re: [xsl] disable-output-escaping

["Charles Ohana" <cohana@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,
Thank you for your help. But I still need to avoid having "&" as output.
I have the following code in my stylesheet and I need the exact output.
<xsl:template>
   <script>
      var tmp = "&a";
   </script>
</xsl:template>
currently it generates
var tmp = "&amp;a"; instead of var tmp = "&a";


Thank you ...
