RE: [xsl] problem with processing CDATA tags in xml

Hi Martin,

Actually I generate 2 kinds.... 

- xhtml (web rendition)
- DITA map/topics (which they import into framemaker to produce nice PDF's 
showing their product information.

But even DITA recognizes these <sub> and <sup> tags just as AdobeFramemaker 
does, so we use them for all publications actually.

Kind regards,
Robby

Their product schema does not allow a <Value> to have subtags... That's why 
they use CDATA.  And in my opinion that's not so bad since from a data point 
of view these html tags are pure a rendition thing.

But basically I see 2 options from the responses:

(1): Use cdata-sections attribute  on <xsl:output> 
(2): make changes to the schema for all elements which may have html tags as 
children


I still see a problem with (1)... in the end when serializing to html I still 
want to disable-output-escaping so the browser will recognize <sub> and <sup> 
as tags instead of plain text... but then the greater then '>' will result in 
invalid xml.  

You will need to explain in more detail what you want to achieve.
Do you have different stylesheets, some outputting XML, some HTML? Or in 
what case do you want a CDATA section and in what case do you want to 
output HTML elements like 'sub'?
