   Hi David,

   Thanks for your reply, but I am not sure I understand. All I want to do is
   go from this output

   <CONTENT>
   <html>
   <head>
   <title><![CDATA[Bla Bla]]></title>
   <body><![CDATA[Bla Bla]]></body>
   </head>
   </html>
   </CONTENT>

   to this:

   <CONTENT><![CDATA[
   <html>
   <head>
   <title><![CDATA[Bla Bla]]></title>
   <body><![CDATA[Bla Bla]]></body>
   </head>
   </html>]]>
   </CONTENT>



Ah then I gave the right answer to the wrong question.

You can't have the requested result as it is not well formed XML. A
CDATA marked section can not contain the string ]]> except as its end
marker, so in particuar they don't nest.

your requested output has a <CONTENT> start tag, then some text content
then a closing </title> tag so would be a fatal error at that point.

You have to try vey hard to persuade XSLT to produce non well formed
output. Are you sure that's what you want?

David
