I love and hate XSLT at the same time. I could probably live without the
title and body not being CDATA as well, but the format I have been requested
to build is defiantly one with the whole <CONTENT> tree in CDATA:

End result:

<CONTENT><![CDATA[
   <html>
   <head>
   <title>Resultant text from a value-of</title>
   <body>Resultant text from a value-of</body>
   </head>
   </html>]]>
   </CONTENT>

.xsl
 
 <CONTENT>
   <html>
   <head>
   <title><xsl:value-of select="TITLE"></title>
   <body><xsl:value-of select="BODY"></body>
   </head>
   </html>
   </CONTENT>

   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
