Re: [xsl] Dealing with <![CDATA[]]> when it can't be avoided

2007-07-05 14:16:19

<sql><![CDATA[SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue > 0]]></sql>

 As you can see, it's necessary to enclose the SQL in <![CDATA[]]> because 
some of the characters I must use would not be legal XML.


well, actually we can't see in that example (which would be legal
without the CDATA markup) but could imagine the use of <


<sql><![CDATA[SELECT * FROM users WHERE status IN 
(]]><list>'alive,'awake','sentient'</list>><![CDATA[)]]></sql>

but there isn't any XSLT construct to permit me to select all the content of 
an element EXCEPT the content of the child <list>. Or at least I can't think 
of one.

select="node()[not(self::list)]" or in xslt2 select="node() except list()"
, or if you know list is the only possible element, select="text()"
