(You give the impression you are already doing this, but if you are, then
XML escaping should never appear in the output)
I thought this too, but I tried it again with output set to text, and sure
enough the escaped characters appeared in output. Along with, I might add, an
XML document declaration!
I think there is something horribly broken with our implementation--perhaps
whatever is invoking the transformation is overriding the output method.
Thanks,

Subject: [xsl] Character references and the dreaded d-o-e
I have what I think is a very simple XSLT 1 question, but I
can't recall the best way to solve it.
We have the following value in the database: AT&T
Which gets serialized as
<result_set>
<vendor_name>AT&T</vendor_name>
</result_set>
My stylesheet is set to output text, and doing
<xsl:value-of select="/result_set/vendor_name"/>
Returns AT&T
Even though I'm producing plain text, the only workaround I'm
aware of is to change the output to XML and use d-o-e on the
value-of element to get the desired result (AT&T). But I
can't help but think there are unwanted side effects to this,
and that there might be a better way (perhaps using string
replacement?). Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
b.
