How to use HTML inside an XML and transform using XSL

[RGeo]

I have this xml generated from ASP with values from a database as follows:
<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?>
<report>
<row>
<column><caption>ID</caption>
<value>1</value>
</column>
<column><caption>Notes</caption>
<value>Approvedby <FONT COLOR=&quot;RED&quot;><B>ABC</B></FONT></value>
</column>
</row>
</report>

One of the column elements has html embedded in it. When transformed with XSL, i need to see the HTML formatting on the page but the FONT and Bold tags appear as it is.

The xsl i use is sthg like this
<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl&quot;>

<xsl:template match=&quot;/&quot;>
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;report&quot;>
<table>
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;row&quot;>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;column&quot;>
<td><xsl:value-of select=&quot;value&quot;/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

What should i do to see effect of the HTML formatting. I tried using xslutput and xsl:text with the disable-output-escaping option set to yes , but i get the error &quot;Keyword xsl:text/xslutput may not be used here.&quot;

Thanks
Rachel

Hello Rachel,

If you try the xsl file like the following, it should work.

<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version=&quot;1.0&quot;
xmlns:xsl=&quot;

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform&quot;>

<xslutput method=&quot;xml&quot; indent=&quot;yes&quot;/>
<xsl:template match=&quot;/&quot;>
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;report&quot;>
<table>
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;row&quot;>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select=&quot;column&quot;>
<td><xsl:copy-of select=&quot;value&quot;/></td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</table>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Good luck

Henry
