The reason I did not include the last template is because I
was testing the
result of the template match "review" by writing out my
variable like this:
<hr/>
<xsl:value-of select="$ui_review" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
<hr/>
Just as Jeni suspected. She's good at finding bugs in code she can't see.
Switch to using xsl:copy-of and all should be well.

Hence, no need for the rest of the code. In the above
example the HTML code
has all ready been lost and the "ui_review" variable just
spits out the text
result. In otherwords, my HTML tags are lost when I apply-templates
"review"... and the only way I found to preserve them is to
hide them fromt
the XSLT processor with CDATA elements within text blocks
(the appaling
stuff).
I tried the following variable declerations:
<xsl:variable name="$ui_review">
<xsl:copy-of select="review"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="$ui_review">
<xsl:value-of select="review"/>
</xsl:variable>
(neither of the above work, I think they pull straight from the source
ignoring the template rule all together).

Wow! Some solution (that I came up with). The use of
xsl:text and cdata
elements is quite complex... would hate to apply something
like this to a
serious template match. Anyhow... is this the best way to
accomplish what
I'd like to accomplish (and it works)?:
No, this is an appalling way to use XSLT. Go back to your
previous attempt
and find out where your mistake was.

Subject: [xsl] Preserve HTML formatting when apply-templates
in variabl
Hi there,
I am trying to get the result of a template match as
preserved HTML in my
variable. I'm not to sure what is happening to the HTML, but
I think it is
just getting stripped.
The variable which should retrieve the HTML from the matched
template is
"ui_review". The template "review" is responsible for
generating the HTML.
Here is what I have:
<xsl:template match="uireview">
<xsl:variable name="ui_review">
<xsl:apply-templates select="review"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:call-template name="ui_content">
<xsl:with-param name="title">UI Review</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="content" select="$ui_review"/>
<xsl:with-param name="height">300</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="review">
<img src="/images/arrow_2.jpg" alt="{title}" class="padr"/>
<h3 class="txt_1 inline bold"><xsl:value-of
select="title"/></h3>
<p class="txt_1"><xsl:value-of select="content"/></p>
<!-- link for more content -->
<div class="marginb">
<a href="{link}">more <img src="images/arrow_2.jpg"
alt="{title}"
width="13" height="7" border="0"/></a>
</div>
<!-- horizontal "dashed" div tag -->
<xsl:if test="not(position()=last())">
<div class="hr_1px_dashed" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
========= end example ==========
Thanks for the help!
