You can use the XSLT 2.0 function unparsed-text() in Saxon 7.4.

Subject: [xsl] That old song "document() with text-files"


Hi,

I've got a problem with importing data from text-files. Of 
course it isn't supposed to work, but my question is more; 
does anyone have any idea of how to solve the problem of 
reading documents that aren't XML, as pure CDATA? Using 
document() is for XML docs only, but maybe some 
vendor has made some extension to this common problem? All I 
need is a CDATA copy-of of a file; no parsing or anything, a 
pure copy.

The text-input files are generated elsewhere, and I don't 
have the option 
to add XML-wrapper to it, nor making the little HTML inside XHTML.

I *could* use ENTITIES and define these, but filenames come 
in during parsing in a variable $filename, so it can't work 
that way. Any ideas anyone?


Alexander
