I'm afraid none of the tools handle this well. The sole purpose of CDATA is
to tell the system that the angle brackets around <br> aren't to be treated
as markup, which means that when you want to treat them as markup, you've
got a problem. disable-output-escaping is one way around that problem, but
it's messy.
It's not clear what you actually want to produce as your output or exactly
where your difficulty lies.

Subject: [xsl] Handling CDATA element
Hi all,
I have a question regarding the CDATA element.
My problem is the following. I have a rss feed like:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?view=
rss&pid=12310000&fixfor=12310040&resolutionIds=-1&sorter/field
=priority&sorter/order=DESC&tempMax=25&reset=true&decorator=none
that returns something like:
<description><![CDATA[html-to-document.xsl no longer converts
content to
an XDoc. Instead it renders converts documents to XDoc, instead it
allows H1, H2 etc. elements to pass through.
<br>
<br>
]]></description>
Now in my xsl I have something like the following to preserve
the markup
of the cdata (it can contain any html markup).
...
<xsl:value-of select="description" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
...
If you remove @disable-output-escaping then it will transformed to
<br>
That looses the markup information but result in well-formed markup. I
prefer well-formed over well-presented, but best would be both. ;-)
I am unsure how to fix that, has somebody an idea?
TIA for any informations
salu2
