Try using this snippet <xsl:template match="sql:page_content">
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="text()"/> </xsl:template> The main part that you will be interested in is the disable-output-escaping That should do it...

März 2002 19:52 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: XML Stored in a Database Hi I've trawled the archives and samples, but can't see the answer to this one. I have XML stored as a string in a database, e.g. "<paragraph>Hello, this is <italic>dynamic</italic>.</paragraph>" I'm using XSP/Logicsheets (and my own db access classes) to retrieve this data into another XML element, eg. String dynamicXML = getFromDatabase(); <section><xsp:expr>dynamicXML</xsp:expr></section>. I want this to result in: <section> <paragraph> Hello, this is <italic>dynamic</italic>. </paragraph> </section> Unfortunately, the 'dynamic XML' is being treated as text during the transformation. Looking at the source of the resulting HTML page I see: lt;paragraph>Hello, this is <italic>dynamic</italic>.</paragraph> So I think my XML after the XSP is processed looks like: <section> lt;paragraph>Hello, this is <italic>dynamic</italic>.</paragraph> </section> How do I get XSP/XSL to treat the data coming from the db as XML and properly insert it into the document tree? I thought it might be an XSL problem, but can't see a command that looks like it will do the job. BTW. I'm using Cocoon 2.0.1/Tomcat 4.0.1/JDK 1.3.1/Win2K Cheers Alan --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> At first glance I think that a quick and dirty way would be to define your &-expressions in XSL so that they will be substituted while transformed. maybe it'll help you Axel --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
