Original Source

The <xsl:text> element writes literal text to the output tree. It may contain #PCDATA, literal text, and entity references.

Syntax

xml
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes" | "no">
  TEXT
</xsl:text>

Required Attributes

None.

Optional Attributes

  • disable-output-escaping
    • : Specifies whether special characters are escaped when written to the output. The available values are yes or no. If yes is set, for example, the character > is output as >, not as &gt;.

      [!NOTE] Older browsers may not serialize the result of transformation (the "output" below), making this attribute irrelevant in such contexts. To output HTML entities, use numerical values instead, e.g., &#160; for &nbsp;.
