Hi,
I think I have a similar problem, but not constrained by the XSLT
version
or environment as for James.
Specifically, I'm trying to generate an output document with a
description
element that looks like this
... other markup in result document...
<description><![CDATA[
<html>
<head>
<title>this is a test</title>
</head>
<body>
<b>this is a test</b>
</body>
</html>]]>
</description>
... more result document here ...
The solutions I've seen thus far all seem to end up with the markup
escaped.
I specifically don't want the markup to be escaped, but I do want
the <description> element to have an xs:string value. Is there any way
to
achieve this?
Cheers,
Peter
Do I have any options left for converting the result tree
fragment
to
a
string?
no
Hmm... could he do something like:
<xsl:variable name="xml">
<xsl:call-template name="serialize-tree">
<xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="$result-tree" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template name="serialize-tree">
<xsl:param name="nodes" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="$nodes" mode="serialize" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="quote-attribute">
<xsl:param name="value" />
<!-- quote attribute's value -->
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node()" mode="serialize" />
<xsl:template match="@*" mode="serialize">
<xsl:variable name="dq">
<xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="value">
<xsl:call-template name="quote-attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="value" select="." />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of
select="concat(' ',local-name(),'=',$dq,$value,$dq)" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="serialize">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('<',local-name())" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" mode="serialize" />
<xsl:value-of select="string('>')" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="*" mode="serialize" />
<xsl:value-of select="concat('</',local-name(),'>')"
/> </xsl:template>
The above doesn't handle namespaces, processing-instructions,
comments, or mixed content, but it could be hacked to do so.
Is there a reason why this approach would not work in XSL 1.0
to satisfy his needs?
