Some of you may have already found that you can't include <,>,&,' or " in
the element content of an XSL or XML document and expect it to make it to a
generated HTML file without getting escaped to <, etc.
Since I want my generated HTML files to have Java Script, I needed a way
around this.
I made a little Perl utility that makes it so that if you put...
<SCRIPT><![CDATA[
function test (x) {
return (x < 1);
}
]]></SCRIPT>
...in an XML or XSL file, you can post-process the generated HTML file to
get back...
<SCRIPT>
function test (x) {
return (x < 1);
}
</SCRIPT>
For many of us, this is more useful than having "x < 1" get transformed
to "x < 1".
Those that are interested can go to
http://www.massquantities.com/xml-kludges/ to download the scripts and get
instructions on how to use them.
If anyone knows of a better (read: not-so-hacked-up) way to do this, I'd
really like to hear about it.
