I love and hate XSLT at the same time. I could probably live without the
title and body not being CDATA as well, but the format I have been requested
to build is defiantly one with the whole <CONTENT> tree in CDATA:
End result:
<CONTENT><![CDATA[
<html>
<head>
<title>Resultant text from a value-of</title>
<body>Resultant text from a value-of</body>
</head>
</html>]]>
</CONTENT>
.xsl
<CONTENT>
<html>
<head>
<title><xsl:value-of select="TITLE"></title>
<body><xsl:value-of select="BODY"></body>
</head>
</html>
</CONTENT>

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply, but I am not sure I understand. All I want to do
is
go from this output
<CONTENT>
<html>
<head>
<title><![CDATA[Bla Bla]]></title>
<body><![CDATA[Bla Bla]]></body>
</head>
</html>
</CONTENT>
to this:
<CONTENT><![CDATA[
<html>
<head>
<title><![CDATA[Bla Bla]]></title>
<body><![CDATA[Bla Bla]]></body>
</head>
</html>]]>
</CONTENT>
Ah then I gave the right answer to the wrong question.
You can't have the requested result as it is not well formed XML. A CDATA
marked section can not contain the string ]]> except as its end marker, so
in particuar they don't nest.
your requested output has a <CONTENT> start tag, then some text content then
a closing </title> tag so would be a fatal error at that point.
You have to try vey hard to persuade XSLT to produce non well formed output.
Are you sure that's what you want?
David
