Re: [xsl] string replacement for HTML tags

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg dot heinicke at gmx dot de>]

Hello Daniel,

I think this is a legitimate use case for disable-output-escaping.

<xsl:template match="data">
   <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"
       select="translate(., '[]', '&lt;&gt;')"/>
</xsl:template>

So with translate() you don't need a recursive approach.

Regards,

Joerg
