Re: [xsl] Fwd: Parsing Entities

[Geert Josten <Geert.Josten@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recall that Michael Kay explained (more or less) that the so-called markup you are writing that 
way can not be handled like other markup until it is actually written to file (or serialized to a 
stream).

You can catch results in an xsl variable and perhaps want to process them further in the same 
stylesheet. Or you have a second process connected to the XSL transformer through DOM or SAX. These 
are all cases in which these escaped markup tags will pass by as text nodes and not as element nodes 
(or the corresponding SAX events)...

Kind regards,
Geert
