Re: [xsl] XSLT 3: Possible to Get Unescaped Markup in Message Results?

2019-10-17 12:16:03
According to the spec, a message produced by xsl:message is an XML document. 
Saxon passes this document to the callback 

MessageListener2.message(XdmNode content, QName errorCode, boolean terminate, 
SourceLocator locator)
where content is the XML document, errorCode is the requested error code on 
xsl:message, terminate indicates whether terminate=yes was requested, and 
locator idenfies the originating xsl:message instruction.

What happens to the message after that is entirely under application control.

When you say you are generating formatted markup, I assume this means you are 
generating text nodes containing angle brackets in their content (rather than 
generating a tree of nodes).

You could of course write a MessageListener that simply outputs the string 
value of the supplied message document, in which case there would be no 
escaping applied. But it looks as if that's not what oXygen is doing.

This may be a Saxon-specific question but I thought I would start here.

Using Saxon 9.9 and XSLT 3, I want to emit nicely-formatted XML markup in my 
messages where the base markup has lots of noise I don't want to see (in this 
case Office Open XML which is oversupplied with namespace declarations and 
lots of little elements with lots of attributes.

I wrote some templates to generate the formatted markup I want but the 
<xsl:message> result has all the angle brackets escaped (I'm running from 
within Oxygen but I assume the result would be the same from the command 
line).

Is there a standard way around this? If not, is there a Saxon-specific way 
around it?

I tried capturing the markup to a variable and then using xsl:text with 
disable-output-escaping="yes" but that didn't seem to work.

Thanks,

Eliot
