re: Disable output escaping

Thanks much,

I did the following reading through M Kay's book which again works in oxygen
but not currently in calabash. I suppose I may have something else to do in
xproc to get it to work? Currently just using a p:store.

Anyone else do something like this in an xslt file and have it work in
xproc?

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY ampersand "&#xE003;">
<!ENTITY less-than "&#xE001;">
<!ENTITY greater-than "&#xE002;">
]>
...

  <xsl:output method="html" indent="no" use-character-maps="entities"/>
  <xsl:character-map name="entities">
    <xsl:output-character character="&less-than;" string="&lt;"/>
    <xsl:output-character character="&greater-than;" string="&gt;"/>
    <xsl:output-character character="&ampersand;" string="&amp;"/>
  </xsl:character-map>

The xslt code that is relevant is something like the following which is
converting text that represents any html entity back into html entities for
the html output. Perhaps a better way to do this?

  <xsl:template name="normalizeEntityForHTML">
    <xsl:param name="arg" as="xs:string?"/>
    <xsl:variable name="ampersand">
      <xsl:text >&ampersand;</xsl:text>
    </xsl:variable>
    <xsl:value-of

select="replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace($arg,'§S§',concat($ampersand,'nbsp;')),'§L§','
'),'§(\d+)§',concat($ampersand,'#$1;')),'§([a-z]{1,8})§',concat($ampersand,'$1;')),'§!--.*?--§',''),'§BR§','&less-than;br/&greater-than;')"/>
  </xsl:template>

Regards
Alex

An informal recording with one mic under a tree leads to some pretty sweet
acoustic sounds.
