[xsl] Transforming an XML structure into a string

2006-04-11 06:59:43
*bang* *bang* *bang* goes my head against the desk.

We are passing a fragment of XML into a template as a param.

In this case the XML fragments look something like : <call function="analogous">base_colour=<value target_id="base_colour"/>,choice=1</call>

We are aiming to store this string in the value attribute of a html hidden input form so we would like to map all angular brackets to their &lt; &gt; equivalents, and & to &amp; etc.

String functions like translate or substring work on the text node parts (like "base_colour=" and "choice=1") but do not process the nodes like <call or <value.

Can we do a "toString" on this XML fragment or are we approaching this the wrong way around...

Many thanks for you time,

B&A
