Re: [xsl] importing HTML

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

  I have a text file containing malformed HTML text I want to import as
  CDATA into a template, to be called from my stylesheet.

I just replied with methods that woul dproduce a node tree from that
input but perhaps you want to _create_ output like
<foo><![CDATA[... <br>....]]></foo>

note that the usual advice with people on this list faced with input in
that form is "don't start from there" so the option of making teh html
well formed and including it as elements has real advantages, however if
that is what you want to make, add
cdata-section-elements="foo"
to your xsl:output then just include the file as text.

In xslt2 you can include it using unparsed-text() function, in xslt1
by far the simplest thing to do would be to pre-process the file using
sed or perl or some such text editing tool to add a surrounding element
and CDATA section so it looks like 
<x><![CDATA[
...
]]></x>
then it is a well formed document and you can include it using
document().
