Is it possible to include tags (name enclosed with the brackets <>) into an element so it would be considered as text, not a subelement?

Thanks!

You can substitute < with &lt; and > with &gt;

Or wrap it in a CDATA section.

hmm interesting

can i include elements along in it...

&lt some <defname> abue bue </defname>text &gt,

the whitespaces in this context is it preserved ?

Thank you, Joe, it did the trick!
I suppose, Birger's suggestion would work too, but it just wouldn't be so elegant. :)

But what if I have a character ']' in my text too?

It's okay as long as you dont have ]]>.

OK, thanks!

Well, now I have the next problem... I use an xsl to nicely display the xml data. And now I need that it takes my tags as real HTML tags, not text...

For example, I have this text for an element:
<img src="photo.jpg" heigth="100" width="100" alt="Photo">

So, now when I transfer this data using the style sheet, I would like the image not the code to be displayed.

Is this possible?

Thanks!
Janis

Well as long as you try to display the output in a browser it should work, what are you doing at the moment?

I tried to view plain .xml in the browser and now I'm using an external .xsl to change the layout. And it shows me the img code and br tags instead of an image or a new line... (I mean, these tags I have in the xml elements. Tags in the xsl stylesheet are executed correctly.)

Sorry but you'll have to elucidate, are youi embedding the xsl path in the xmlk with a processing-instruction, transforming via some script or some other way?
