Actually, < and > were replaced by "<" and ">" respectively while
parsing; the difference is that during serialization, "<" has been converted
back to "<", but ">" has not been converted back to ">". This caused
me a little confusion in reading your message!
What XSLT processor did you use and how did you run it? Are you sure the
serialization was done by an XSLT processor? I'm puzzled because there's no
evidence that it used the HTML output method, which it should have done.
When serializing as XML, there is no need to write ">" as ">", but in
HTML, the HTML spec advises that this "should" be done. The XSLT 2.0
serialization specification, surprisingly, seems to have nothing to say on
the subject.

Subject: [xsl] > replaced by ">", < is not replaced...
Hi everybody,
I am trying to transform a HTML page using XSL, the problem
is that somehow my ">" signs in the input text are changed
to ">" while "<" are not changed. This XSL I am using:
[stylesheet]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet
version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<style>
body
{
font-family:'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size:11px;
color:#333333;
font-weight:normal;
line-height: 140%;
text-align:justify;
}
span.rule
{
font-weight:bold;
}
span.issuer, span.target
{
font-weight:bold;
display:inline;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="br">
<xsl:element name="br"></xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Copy all <span> tags together with the attributes. -->
<xsl:template match="span">
<xsl:element name="span">
<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of
select="@id" /></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:if test="@style">
<xsl:attribute
name="style"><xsl:value-of select="@style"
/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="@class">
<xsl:attribute
name="class"><xsl:value-of select="@class"
/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
[/stylesheet]
This is the text that is being parsed:
[parsed text]
<html>
<body>
<span class="target"
id="http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1182253177.owl#WHITB
READ"><WTB.L></span>
said on Monday it was considering the sal
</body>
</html>
[/parsed text]
This is the text after transformation:
[transformed text]
<html>
<head>
<style>
body
{
font-family:'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size:11px; color:#333333;
font-weight:normal;
line-height: 140%;
text-align:justify;
}
span.rule
{
font-weight:bold;
}
span.issuer, span.target
{
font-weight:bold;
display:inline;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<span class="target"
id="http://www.owl-ontologies.com/Ontology1182253177.owl#WHITB
READ"><WTB.L></span>
said on Monday it was considering the sal </body> </html>
[/transformed text]
As you can see the ">" is replaced by ">", however the
"&lgt;" is NOT replaced by "<". I do not understand how this
is possible. The desired result is that they both do NOT get
replaced, so both ">" and "<"
should appear in the transformed text.
