RE: Need to wrap XML in <![CDATA[...]]> tags


Hi,
 
I have a similar requirement and I thought you could do it with
cdata-section-elements.

I want to make the following whole CONTENT section be enclosed in a CDATA
section but the cdata-section-elements doesn't seem to do it. Is there
something else I should use to make a whole tree CDATA?
 
 
<?xml version="1.0" ?> 
- <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" cdata-section-elements="TITLE
CONTENT" /> 
- <xsl:template match="dataroot">
- <DATA SERIAL="200307271225">
- <xsl:for-each select="Source">
- <ITEM>
- <URL>
  <xsl:value-of select="URL" /> 
  </URL>
- <LINK>
  http://www.site.com<xsl:value-of select="PARAM"
/>&referredURL=<xsl:value-of select="URL" /> 
  </LINK>
- <TITLE> <xsl:value-of select="Title" /></TITLE>
- <CONTENT>
- <html>
- <head>
- <title>
  <xsl:value-of select="Title" /> 
  </title>
- <body>
  <xsl:value-of select="Body" /> 
  </body>
  </head>
  </html>
  </CONTENT>
....etc

Hi,

I've got a strange requirement to transform

<sample>
  <name>
    <firstName>Mickey</firstName>
    <lastName>Mouse</lastName>
  </name>
</sample>

into

<sample>
  <person>
    <![CDATA[
      <name>
        <firstName>Mickey</firstName>
        <lastName>Mouse</lastName>
      </name>
    ]]>
  </person>
</sample>

I've written this XSL

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml"/>

  <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match='*[name() = "sample"]'>
    <sample>
      <person>
        <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
          &lt;![CDATA[
        </xsl:text>
        <xsl:copy-of select="./node()"/>
        <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
          ]]&gt;
        </xsl:text>
      </person>
    </sample>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

that gets me to

<sample>
  <person>
    &lt;![CDATA[
      <name>
        <firstName>Mickey</firstName>
        <lastName>Mouse</lastName>
      </name>
    ]]&gt;
  </person>
</sample>

Unfortunately, this isn't good enough, for the system I am interfacing with.

  I can not figure out how I can insert an unescapted '<' into the output - 
I've read that '<' isn't allowed inside the xsl:text tag.

Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks for your time,

Jason
