i have an xslt which is outputting a text ...
i want '< ' symbol to appear in the text output ...
when i use < it is outputted as '<' only not as '<' ..
only if i view the ouput in ie do i get '<' symbol .. can
anybody tell me how
to get '<' in the text output of an xslt ..
thanks in advance
The solution depends on what you want to achieve. If you want the
output to **look like** "<" in a browser, you do not have to do
anything. The html or xml output will actually contain "<" but it
will **display** as you want in the browser.
If you want to produce text output (for the entire output document), and
not html or xml, then specify method='text' in the xsl:output element,
and a real "<" will be emitted.
If you want to have an actual "<" in xml or html output, you cannot have
that. This is a fundamental thing about xml (and html).
