If you are trying: <xsl:value-of select="$textWithAmpersand" disable-output-escaping="yes" /> and the value of $textWithAmpersand is being output with ampersands being escaped as '&', then XT doesn't support disabling output escaping. XT isn't fully compliant with XSLT generally, but in this instance it is being compliant - processors don't have to support disabling output escaping. As you are trying to output an ampersand without it being escaped, you must be producing something other than XML. If you tell the processor that you're producing text rather than XML, by setting the output method to text, then nothing will be escaped when it's output. Try: <xsl:output method="text" /> If you are generally producing XML but want this particular ampersand to be unescaped (perhaps you're producing an entity reference) then I'm afraid that you have to move to a processor that *does* support disable-output-escaping, like Saxon, MSXML or Xalan.
