RE: Can I print well-formed XML/HTML in text output mode

When I do the <xsl:value-of select="my_node" /> then it just does a messy
output.  If "my_node" is "<p>Hey, this stupid thing won't work right</p>"
then it will proceed to print "Hey, this stupid thing won't work
right".  As

Actually, the stupid thing *is* working right if my_node is the p-node :)

fun as that is, it doesn't look too nice later when it shows up on a
webpage.  (I can't just put the <p> and </p> around the thing because the
data in the node is PCDATA, so any html can be in there.)  I'd
like a simple
value-of statement, but apparently that's a no-go since it is in text mode
and text mode will take the text only in all the descendent
nodes, and leave
out the tags.


Use <xsl:copy-of select="my_node" /> for this.

Hope this helps!

Cheerz,

Andreas
