First, Brad, could you please fix your TO: and CC:. I'm on the xalan-j-users
list, so I'm getting your emails twice.
Thanks.
Now, I want to make sure that you've read the XSL spec (forgive me if I sound
stern, it's just very important to get
this)
7.6.1 Generating Text with xsl:value-of
"The required select attribute is an expression; this expression is evaluated
and the resulting object is converted to a
string as if by a call to the string function"
It would also be good to carefully read:
11.3 Using Values of Variables and Parameters with xsl:copy-of
Therefore the template snippet
PageText{<xsl:value-of select="$body"/>}
will show no markup in the output. However, using xsl:copy-of will preserve the
markup.
But I'm afraid your real problem arises when you call task:addPage($task,
@ident, $body), where you're expecting that
$body is a string with markup. Read my earlier e-mail remarks on this problem.
Cheers -- Frank.
