I'm pulling out a CLOB that may or may not have embeded HTML which may or
may not be XHTML...
I then need to pass it on through a couple of stylesheets to format the
results for a browser. I'm trying to put the text into a CDATA block so
that the embeded tags will not get processed by later stylesheets.
My thought to date has been that I need the text data to be inserted into
the CDATA block without having the "<" and ">" chars escaped so that any
HTML tags arrive at the end of the pipeline intact. Additionally, in all
three methods, the "<" and ">" of any XML tags I attempt to insert around
the text ("<![CDATA[]]>" and in the last case "<body_text/>" end up also
escaped and thus treated as text by later stylesheets.
Thanks
Steve

I presume that you want the data inside the CDATA block for the sake
of the client? Since printing out the data would create a text node
for the internal processing and wouldn't be touched by Cocoon at all.
I think it should be possible to print the CDATA instruction
("<![CDATA[") and the ending instruction ("]]>").

Effectively escapes the esql-tag from being replaced by the required
java code.

Mmmh, that _should_ work. Could you please provide us with the java
code produced by this? You'll find it in the work directory of your
servlet engine (e.g. $CATALINA_HOME/work/localhost/cocoon/....)

Wait -- that sounds like a correct result. What are you trying to
achieve exactly?
Chris.
