<xsl:text>

XSLT/XPath Reference: XSLT elements, EXSLT functions, XPath functions, XPath axes

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

Syntax

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

Required Attributes

None.

Optional Attributes

disable-output-escaping (Netscape does not serialize the result of transformation - the "output" below - so this attribute is essentially irrelevant in context. To output html-entities, use numerical values instead, eg &#160; for &nbsp;)

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;.

Type

Instruction, appears within a template.

Defined
