RE: [xsl] handling tags and PIs within a macro

XSLT can only handle well-formed XML input documents. Your input is not
well-formed XML (in other words, it is not XML at all, since there is no
other kind). Sorry, but XML is the name of this game and you can't break the
rules.

Subject: [xsl] handling tags and PIs within a macro

Hi guys,

I have created templates by the help of which, the compiler 
will parse my macros for graphics, chunks of table entries, 
etc. The problem is that when a macro is parsed by its 
template defined in .xsl file, the compiler cannot handle 
such processing instructions as <sbr\>, <xref.../>  
<command>, etc that are within the macro's text. The compiler says:
parser error : Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes 
values. How do I create a template within each macro 
template, so that those processing instructions in the <> 
format will be handled regularly, without changing their 
format to &lt;...&gt;?

Please, advise!

P.S. here is an example of a table row macro (and within this 
row there could be all these problematic PIs.

<xsl:template match="j_entry">
<row>
  <entry>
  <xsl:element name="formalpara">
    <xsl:attribute name="id">
      <xsl:value-of select="@fid"/>
     </xsl:attribute>
     <title>
       <xsl:value-of select="@cmd"/>
     </title>
  </xsl:element>

  <formalpara>
    <title>Description</title>
    <xsl:value-of select="@dsc"/>
  </formalpara>

  <formalpara>
    <title>Relevant to</title>
    <xsl:value-of select="@rel"/>
  </formalpara>

  <formalpara>
    <title>Type</title>
    <xsl:value-of select="@t"/>
  </formalpara>
  
  <formalpara>
    <title>Default Value</title>
    <xsl:value-of select="@val"/>
  </formalpara>
  </entry>
</row>
</xsl:template>

The macro in the XML source file looks like this:

<j_entry cmd="admin/user/mail" dsc="Quota of a mailbox in 
Megabytes. The default value is taken from the mail server 
default quota (see entry <xref linkend='mta_quota' 
xrefstyle='template:%t on page %p'/>)." rel="Mail Server" 
t="integer" ver="4.0"
val="30"/>

Thanks in advance!
Kind regard,
Nancy
