[xsl] Need help rendering the HTML residing within the XML

[Jeremy Graston <sushidub@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First timer problem (couldn't find an exact answer in the archives): I 
have an XML file with a hundred plus nodes of which any number could at 
any time contain HTML tags such as the <b></b> tag in line 2.

1 <book>
2 <name><b>Count of Monte Cristo</b></name>
3 <author>Alexander Dumas</author>
4 <content />
5 </book>

I need my XSL file to parse the XML so that the browser (IE 6+, NN 7+) 
will take these <b></b> tags and apply the appropiate HTML formatting 
rather than treating them as XML nodes.

The browser seems to like character entity equivalents such as in line 2 
below and renders the <name> node in bold when I have 
disable-output-escaping set to "yes".

1 <book>
2 <name>&lt;b&gt;Count of Monte Cristo&lt;/b&gt;</name>
3 <author>Alexander Dumas</author>
4 <content />
5 </page>

but the chances of getting character entitiy equivalents into my XML 
file vs. brackets are slim to none.

Does this mean I'd have to write a query function within the XSL that 
goes through every node in my XML file looking for regular HTML tags? 
Wouldn't this take forever to parse considering I could have upwards of 
a hundred nodes in my XML? Is there something I'm missing? Does anybody 
know of an article or link that address my problem?

Many many thanks!
