Interpret value as html

kokoness · August 28th, 2009, 04:56 AM

Hi,

Code:

<field>
<fieldId>PlanName</fieldId>
<fieldtext>Name of Plan</fieldtext>
<fieldvalue>Battle Plan</fieldvalue>
<fieldvalue2>&lt;b&gt;BATTLE PLAN&lt;b&gt;</fieldvalue2>
<type>NormalField</type>
<sequence>2</sequence>
<stylemarker>1</stylemarker>
</field>

I could select fieldvalue by:

Code:

<td><xsl:value-of select="field/fieldvalue"/><td>

This would be interpreted as: Battle Plan

But what if I want to select fieldvalue2 and interpret it as html?
I want it be like: BATTLE PLAN
I don't want it to be displayed as: <b>BATTLE PLAN</b>

In short, I want to insert the contents and interpret it as html.
Is it possible?

Thank you very much.

use <xsl:copy-of> instead of <xsl:value-of>.

If your ouput is html, then definitely

<xsl:value-of select="field/fieldvalue2" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

will give the required result BATTLE PLAN when you view the html file.

Check it.

disable-output-escaping might be appropriate if the HTML markup has for some reason been escaped (ie. written as <b> rather than <b>), but there was no indication that was the case here. If it's literal HTML markup, use xsl:copy-of as suggested by Sam.

Thanks Sir Sam, Sir Rummy and Sir Michael. I'll try your suggestions later. Thank you very much again. I'm starting to like XSL

Thanks to sir mrame.

disable-output-escaping="yes" did the job.
