Thanks for the help however using "CDATA" would require manuel editing of the
xml file.
The source text contains or will contain lots of ampersands which I do not wish
hand edit every copy and paste from time to time.

Someone asked for a reason.
The reason is to copy and past text with ampersands into my xml file
without having to convert one ampersand form into another.
You can use
*but*
now if ]]> occurs in your input you must escape it. E.g. to put <[[]]>
into a string, you might try
a space-ship]]>
but that does not work. Instead, you must write,
]]
which I am sure you will agree is clearer.
With XSLT, you might find it easier to include an external
text file, using unparsed-text(), assuming you are using XSLT 2.
