The process of converting markup to a tree structure is called parsing.
You need to parse this data twice. The first parse will convert the
string "<x/>" to the string "<x/>", and the second will convert
the string "<x/>" to an element node.
It's better, of course, not to generate such files in the first place,
but because a lot of people get themselves into this mess, Saxon has a
saxon:parse extension function to help you get out of it.

Subject: [xsl] How can I do a string substitution for turning
entities into html tags
I am not sure if the subject line conveyed it, but I am not
really sure how to describe it at this point.
Here is an example of my xml data
<text>
<p>Sometext here. Followed by more text</p>
<p>More text.</p>
<li>For more info see </li>
</text>
Because of the way the program that generates it is handling
it, the html markup tags are converted to the entities for <
and >. In my XSL I need to change them back to the specific
markup tags.
What is the best way to go about this?
Any advice or examples would be fantastic and much appreciated
Bill
