Hi Joelle,
The problem is that the text inside the CDATA is parsed as character
data. It has no structure to it according to the XML parser that is
passing the information along to XSLT.
The disable-output-escapting attribute you tried only applies to the
output... Your interest is to have the CDATA parsed so that you can
process it with XSLT.
I would pre-process the XML and remove the CDATA so that the XML
parser has an opportunity to parse the data inside.
I think the reason the CDATA was inserted was for security... So you
may want to investigate possible security issues when you strip out
the CDATA.

Using xsl 1.0 with php 5.x
I'm trying to consume an atom feed and I'd like to print out the full body
of the content. It's wrapped in a CDATA section so I'm having trouble
getting it to display correctly. The tags come out escaped despite adding
the disable-output-escaping. I've looked via google and not found an answer.
Sites do this so it must be possible somehow. Right? Snippets below
Links to a manual to read are fine too.
Thanks!

My xsl snippet:
<xsl:template match="atom:entry[position() = 1]">
<h3>
<xsl:apply-templates select="atom:title"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
<span class="feed_posted">Posted on:
<xsl:apply-templates select="atom:updated"/></span>
</h3>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escapting="yes"
select="atom:content"/>
</xsl:template>
It generates:
<h3><a

Reflections on Green Living</a>

can do that. The part I'm struggling with is the escaping):
