Hi, Experts
I need to remove the span tag which is inside the CDATA in input XML.
Could anyone suggest me how to handle CDATA in XSLT Transform for the
below?
The first thing to understand is that <span> isn't a tag. It looks like
a tag, but the CDATA section is there for the purpose (its only purpose)
of saying "this may look like a tag but I want it treated as ordinary
text". So if you want to treat it as a tag rather than as ordinary text,
it's not surprising you have a problem.
The CDATA section means that the parser ignored this "tag" during the
initial parsing, so what you need to do is to extract the text and parse
it again (without the CDATA tags). You can often do this using an
extension function, but it can't be done within the language. If the
subset of XML you need to parse is simple enough, you can use a parser
written in XSLT itself.
