Hi Anup,
sorry for the delay, lot of work in my job. Thanks for the advice, when I’ll find some free time I’ll try it.

Thanks once more,
Regards.

Hi, I assume you mean HTML in the description element? It looks like it has been escaped with things like &. Instead of that, if you are able to, can you have the HTML be in XML format rather than escaped? If you need to, you could write the HTML as well formed XML and put it in the XHTML namespace. Your XSLT could then match those elements and copy them out.

This approach also lets you write XSLT templates to do things like filter out code you don’t want, e.g. font tags, or more importantly script tags.

Hope that helps!

I have a problem with this process – how to maintain HTML code in the XML elements content? I’ve tried to parse XML from http://refsbook.com (i.e. http://refsbook.com/xml/taniafoto ), and some of the elements contain HTML code!!! Is there a tag, attribute or a special tool for that in XSLT transormation? Thank you for any help!

@Joshua Hewitt:

Good point. In XSLT 1.0 I can’t think of a way. I think you would have to use xsl:if under the element and then that means using xsl:attribute in that scenario.

I believe (though have not had any experience in it) that XSLT 2.0 has additional capabilities and syntax to allow that kind of thing.

I understand that avoiding and using attrib="{A}" is cleaner and faster, but is it possible to avoid outputting empty attributes (attrib="" if A is empty)? Basically this without all the bloat:
