Re: Html tags as part of XML elements rendered as text

[Gary L Peskin <garyp at firstech dot com>]

If you're dying to keep your input xml data in this form, you might try
adding the disable-output-escaping="yes" attribute to the <xsl:value-of
select="text"/> element.  Although implementation is optional, it will
probably work.

The more preferred solution would be to see if you can change your input
XML document to something more XML-like:

<text><font face="helvetica" size="2"><b>this thing
costs</b><br>$219.00</br></font></text>

Then, you could change the <xsl:value-of select="text"> to

	<xsl:copy-of select="text/*">
