Re: Replacing HTML in my XML using XSLT

2005-09-15 08:18:27
Thanks David,
   You are right. The xml has escaped html in it the
way you told me. I'm new to XSLT. I've gone through
the website already, but I found examples either too
complex for me. I have a real tight deadline, and need
an example which directly works for me. Could you send
me an exact solution to this? That would be so nice of
you.
  
Thanks,
Jig

When the XML has HTML tags in it ('e.g.' <b> Some
Text Here</b>. etc.),

The symptoms you describe would not happen if theer
were any tags, as
then you would get a b eleemnt in the XSLt input,
and value-of would not
generate any markup from an element node.

You presumably have teh HTML escaped so that it is
explictly _not_ a
tag, either using &lt; or (equivalently) a CDATA
section, something like

<title>&lt;b> Some Text Here&lt;/b></title>

  <xsl:value-of
  select="translate(atom:title,'&lt;/b&gt;','    
')" />


translate translates individual characters so, as
you observed, that
translates each of < / b and > to a space.

The FAQ at www.dpawson.com has examples of replace
templates that you
can use for replacing one string by another.
