I used the same template match, to display anchor attribute('name') value in

Well if the markup in the input XML is contained in a CDATA section then
in the XSLT/XPath data model there is simply a text node as the sole
child node of the 'bk:text' element. If you want to use XPath or
apply-templates on the XML markup in that text node then you first need
to parse the markup as XML (as long as it is XML). However doing so
requires an extension function. Saxon 9 has one for such a task
<xsl:template match="bk:text"
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="saxon:parse(concat('<dummy>',
., '</dummy>'))/dummy/node()"
xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
