xsl:output cdata-section-elements
 

Hello,
Ive been reading about cdata-section-elements b/c ive got a comments
field that id like to inlcude some html in. For some reason the final
output is not including any cdata tags though? The original field that
this is pulled from does use cdata tags but they dont seem to come
through

Is this possible or is there something im missing?


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="no" method="xml"
cdata-section-elements="comments"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<data>

<xsl:for-each select="data/supervisors/supentry">

<entry>
<id><xsl:value-of select="@id"/></id>
<author>
<xsl:value-of select="@author"/>
</author>
<xsl:element name="comments">
<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:element>
</entry>
</data>


thanks

Do you get a CDATA section in the output if you don't use
disable-output-escaping="yes"?

It's correct behaviour.

Thanks,
When I remove disable-output-escaping it doesn't add the cdata but it
did break down the html to its character form which will be sufficient.
Thanks for your post
