I think what you need is to write out the "elements" inside
the string you
want to preserve in escaped form. You can do this with
templates easily
enough. This means they won't look like elements in your
stylesheet --
because you don't want elements in your output. For example
(here are a
couple of templates I have lying around that will do this):
Thank you for these. They were just what I needed for something
I'm doing.
(Caveat to anyone who might use this: a greater-than sign
is missing in the "write-endtag" template as it appeared
in the email.)
<xsl:template name="write-starttag">
<xsl:text><</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/>
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
<xsl:call-template name="write-attribute"/>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>></xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="write-endtag">
<xsl:text></</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/>
<xsl:text></xsl:text>
A greater-than sign is missing here (lost in the mail?)
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="write-attribute">
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/>
<xsl:text>="</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
<xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="escape-xml">
<xsl:call-template name="write-starttag"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
Btw some will want to add mode="escape-xml" to the above
line for recursive escaping.
<xsl:call-template name="write-endtag"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="warning">
<xsl:apply-templates mode="escape-xml"/>
</xsl:template>
