Hi,

As I'm not a guru of XSLT, I am surely missing a point but why would I

use xsl:text?



The <xsl:text> element is defined whenever you need to write 'literal'
text to the output.

Look at the following example :
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#result-element-stylesheet

Would it make more sense to use :
<p><xsl:text>Total Amount: </xsl:text></p>

Instead of :
<p>Total Amount: </p>

I've red the doc but I'm still not confident on when to use xsl:text.



for me the biggest thing of using xsl:text is whenever you want to
engage d-o-e (disable-output-encoding).

I am certain that there are certain assumptions with whitespace when
wrapped in xsl:text, which is probably the 'reason' why we have such an
element in the first place.

hth, Jim Fuller

Thanks for any highlights.
