Hi Wendell,
Yes now I get what you were saying. But the white
space is before
"&" and not as "& amp;" so I do not see any
reason why
<xsl:text> &</xsl:text> should not work the same
way as
<xsl:text>&</xsl:text>.
The only thing that may happen is that there will be
an extra space in the output xml if I am correct.
Help me understand if you think I did not catch what
you are trying to say.
Thanks,
Abhi

Abhi,
If you compare the two examples, you will see that
one has whitespace
around the "&_amp;" character.
"&_foo;" (without the _) is an entity reference
(assuming, of course, it's
been declared as such). But
"&
foo;"
is not.
The xsl:text instruction copies its data content to
the output -- data
content including whitespace. Whitespace is not
stripped inside xsl:text;
this is a feature. You need to mind that it doesn't
create a bug.
Cheers,
Wendell
