Hi All,
I'm using a variable, from which I'm calling a template. The template contains <xsl:text disable-output-escaping='yes'>&lt;</xsl:text>. When I get the output from that variable using <xsl:value-of..., I cant get the < symbol. Instead I get &lt;. Can anyone help me in getting the < as output?

Thanks

That's precisely why disable-output-escaping is such a bad idea - it only works when the output is being directly serialized, which isn't the case when writing to a variable.

Show us why you are using d-o-e, and we'll try to find a way of getting the same result "properly".

Thank you Mike. I have cleared this problem.
