Re: [xsl] using xsl:output-character to render characters in 2 ways

But for some reason you don't want to use them.

I really do want to use them, but, as described earlier in this thread
if I do use them the following piece of text:

Financial Times, "Erdoğan Grubu'na"

gets output as:

 <meta name="description"
           content='Financial Times, &#34;Erdoğan Grubu'na&#34;'
           />

using Saxon 9. This rendering breaks IE6.

Yes, that works, but I thought it was deprecated.

Indeed it is!  Which is why I was loath to recommend it.

Is there no better way in XSLT 2?

Absolutely there is:  character maps.

But for some reason you don't want to use them.

One of the reasons I am using a character map in this example is to
create a CDATA section in the output:

<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
some.onload(function(){
});
//]]></script>

As I need '//' to appear before the CDATA section I cannot use the
cdata-section-elements <xsl:output/> attribute.

(Here's an example of why I need the '//':
http://javascript.about.com/library/blxhtml.htm )

Is there a way I can produce this kind of CDATA section in the output
without resorting to character maps?

Though I loath to recommend it, you could use disable-output-escaping=
as
follows:

<script type="text/javascript">//<xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;</xsl:text>![CDATA[
some.onload(function(){
}};
//<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">]]&gt;</xsl:text></script>

I hope this helps.
