Rephrase - HTML inside XML

Muddmuse · May 22, 2003

I have a call to a database that returns XML that I transform with XSL to output HTML. The contents of the XML may contain HTML tags like this:

<Node>
<Text>Hello World <a href="#">Click here</a></Text>
</Node>

In my XSL I'm trying to do a <xsl:value-of select="/Node/Text"/> that will apply the HTML tags. If I use <xsl:copy-of select="/Node/Text"/> I get the desired results except the actual node "<Text>" gets outputted. Is there a way to produce the following output?

<html>
<body>
Hello World <a href="#">Click here</a>
</body>
</html>

and not this output?

<html>
<body>
<Text>Hello World <a href="#">Click here</a></Text>
</body>
</html>

Could theis be of any help?

Code:

<xsl:template match=&quot;Text&quot;>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match=&quot;Text/*&quot;>
 <xsl:copy-of select=&quot;.&quot;/>
</xsl:template>
