transform CDATA 1

[klunde]

Is there an easy way to transform a XML document with CDATA values into a equal XML document without use of CDATA?

xml file with cdata section is represented internally as if there is none. Hence a simple identity transformation will bring the one with cdata to one without.

For instance, with a simple identity transformation from w3c spec:
[tt]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xslutput method="xml" version="1.0" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
[/tt]
You would bring an xml file, such as this:
[tt]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
<cdata_gt_operator><![CDATA[ > ]]></cdata_gt_operator>
<entity_ref_gt_operator> &gt;</entity_ref_gt_operator>
<char_ref_gt_operator> &#x3E; </char_ref_gt_operator>
</root>
[/tt]
to an output xml file like this.
[tt]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
<cdata_gt_operator> &gt; </cdata_gt_operator>
<entity_ref_gt_operator> &gt;</entity_ref_gt_operator>
<char_ref_gt_operator> &gt; </char_ref_gt_operator>
</root>
[/tt]
All in all, an identity tranformation would mostly do. The rest is to make the output looking good.
