RE: [xsl] < problem

["Zarella Rendon" <zarella at coolheads dot com>]

Thomas,

First of all, you have a couple of typos, the $ in front of the second lt,
and you're missing the second > after the /a. Once you fix that, this
should work fine.

Now, if the problem is still there, you may have an issue with recursive
calls to the link element. The disable-output-escaping attribute is not
recursive, meaning it loses it's value outside of the current context. So if
you are using <xsl:value-of> inside another <xsl:value-of>, both should have
the disable-output-escaping set to "yes". (Remember, if it's not set it
defaults to "no").

A variable with the value of "link" using disable-output-escaping will also
lose the "disablement" if you call the variable without
disable-output-escaping set to "yes":

<xsl:variable name="test">
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="//link"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="$test"/>
</xsl:template>

Even though the output-escaping of the variable is disabled, calling the
value of $test without disable-output-escaping changes it back to escaped.
