Re: [xsl] Turning escaped mixed content back to XML

That's what I needed: parse-xml-fragment(). This seems to work:

    <xsl:template match="text:p" exclude-result-prefixes="#all">

 <!--       <xsl:variable name="unparsed" select="concat('&lt;p&gt;', 
string-join(//text(), ''), '&lt;/p&gt;')"/>
        <xsl:variable name="parsed" select="saxon:parse($unparsed)"/>
         <xsl:copy-of select="$parsed" exclude-result-prefixes="#all"/>-->
        <xsl:if test="string-length(.) gt 0">
        <tei:p>
            <xsl:value-of 
select="parse-xml-fragment(string-join(//text(), ''))"/>
            </tei:p></xsl:if>
    </xsl:template>

for most cases. I do have some horrible edge-cases though:

<text:p>a start-tag, with delimiters &lt; and &gt; is intended</text:p>

I should be able to pre-process the input text for angle brackets in the 
context of spaces and swap them out for something else temporarily though.
Thanks,
Martin
