RE: CDATA elements in XSLT

Sorry, don't know how to reply to a specific thread in the list. And thank 
you for all your advise. I solved the problem using in the declaration this 
instruction:
<xsl:output method="xml" cdata-section-elements="PoolName" version="1.0" 
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" standalone="yes"/>
Thx,
Dario
