Thanks for a quick reply. Yes, of course, disable-output-escaping.
Thanks

Subject: Re: [xsl] Turning escaped HTML back to markup
Paul Spencer wrote:
I am exporting an Access 2003 database as XML. Some of the fields should
contain HTML, but the XML export from Access seems to escape the angle
brackets. So three questions:
1. Has anyone successfully got HTML into and out of an Access
2003 database?
2. Alternatively, I write a recursive template using lots of
substring-xxx
and xsl:element. Not too difficult, but if anyone knows of a suitable
template available to use, that would save some time.
3. Or have I missed something?
Assuming your stylesheet wants to output HTML then
disable-output-escaping helps, as long as the processor supports it:
<xsl:value-of select="foo" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
Assuming the escaped markup is well-formed XML (which unfortunately
HTML often is not) then you can try to parse it with an extension
function like saxon:parse
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/functions/parse.html
Today's thread "fault tolerant saxon:parse" also suggests you can parse
HTML tag soup by pluggin in the TagSoup parser.
