I have no clue why this happens, but have you tried putting the escaped stuff into CDATA-braces with the first stylesheet? I think this should keep the second one from unescaping....
Maybe an idea Axel -----Original Message----- From: Florent Soulière [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 29, 2002 6:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: XSLT - processing XML from a database field problem Hello, I already passed 2 days trying to solve my problem by myself, but I did not succeed... The situation: I use the SQL Transformer to get data from database. inside this data, there are fields containing XHTML (e.g. <b>this is bold text</b>). What I want to do with all the data is to produce a PDF document using FO. To accomplish such a thing, I use 2 XSL pages: one for "unescaping" the <b>, <i> and other XHTML tags into some valid XML-like tags (<b>, <i>, ...) with <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes">. And the other xsl page does the "big job" by transforming all the document into a FO document (including the XHTML tags, of course). The problem: Even if the unescaping works fine (I checked it by watching the output of the XSLT transformation of the "unescaping XSL page"), it seems that when I want to process the <b>, <i> & others with a standard <xsl:apply-templates/>, they automatically come back to a non-escaped form. What I already tried: I tried to replace <xsl:apply-templates/> by a <xsl:copy-of .../>. And I saw that my XHTML tags were still unescaped, as expected. So I really wonder why they come back to escaped when applied with apply-templates... I tried to split the global process into 2 steps: with one pipeline, I get the unescaped intermediate result, that I store manually into an xml file, and then with another pipeline I read the intermediate file and push it into the "big job" XSLT page... And it works! So, I really would like to know what's wrong with this unescaping and chained-XSLT stuff... I know that this problems of integrating XML fragments into Cocoon's pipelines have always been sensitive, although the documentation have absolutely no care with this. If anyone can help, thank you in advance.
