Thanks - My input is actually something like:
<x> <z> 3 </z> </x>
So it should be valid XML, but I need to transform the
<>-characters of the z-tag (only the z-tag) to "& l t ;" and
"& g t ;" so what the browser sees in the end is:
<x> & l t ;z & g t ; 3 & l t ; / z & g t ; </x>
The reason I need to do this is that z-tag is actually to be
passed as a string to javascript function which will generate
html for a tooltip where the z-tag then again should be
showing with <>.
Do I make myself clear :)
Yes, I was beginning to suspect this was your misunderstanding.
XSLT does not see the markup in your lexical XML. It sees a tree of nodes.
There are no angle brackets in any of the nodes. Your sample (ignoring the
whitespace) will create a tree of four nodes:
* an unnamed document node
* an element named x
* an element named z
* a text node whose string-value is "3".
One way of achieving what you want is to use saxon:serialize:
<xsl:template match="x">
<x>
<xsl:value-of select="saxon:serialize(z)"/>
</x>
</xsl:template>
