I'm having trouble parsing an RSS feed (version 2.0), over
which I have no control, server-side using using classic ASP
and XSL (version 1) Mu guess is that the problem lies in the
following line of the RSS feed:
<description><![CDATA[ text ]]></description> The
result is that none of the content in between the description
tag shows up on screen. Below are the relevant pieces of code.
Is there a way in XSL 1.0 to fix the < and > in front
of and after the CDATA section? If it can only be done in
XSLT 2.0, I would be glad to learn how. Thanks in advance.
Frankly, since XSLT is designed for processing XML, if you need to deal with
broken XML then I think it's often better to fix it using a tool that's
designed to handle arbitrary text, such as Perl.
However, it does depend how badly broken it is. In this particular case you
could repair it using
saxon:parse("<repair>" + description + "</repair>")
