I have an XML document that has some XML mark-up that is stored as
entities so I have something like:
<letter_text><p>Some random letter text
:(.</p><p>Will this work?</p></letter_text>
Well, to be pedantic, it isn't markup; the only reason it's been entitized
is to tell the world that it isn't markup; but we know what you mean.
Now the encoded data should be valid XHTML fragments (though if I was
parsing it as a root node I would expect there would be multiple roots
causing issues) which I would like to use as XHTML in my result
document.
I've looked at saxon:parse
(http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/functions/pa
rse.html)
though that seems specific to CDATA and expects a single root node XML
document.
saxon:parse will do the job just fine. You need to wrap it in an element to
make it well-formed:
select="saxon:parse(concat('<e>', letter_text,
'</e>'))/e/child::node()"
should do the trick.
