"Gopi24" instead of above one

Please find the example XML Code Below

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html><body><table border="1"><tr bgcolor="#9acd32"><th>Class Data</th></tr>

If you want the browser to display

Code:

<data>content</data>

then you need the serialized HTML to contain

Code:

&lt;data&gt;content&lt;/data&gt;

(that is, you need to serialize the XML and insert this as a text node into the HTML). There are several ways you could do this serialization:

(a) in Saxon, the saxon:serialize() extension function

(b) write it by hand in XSLT (I believe there's a solution off-the-shelf from David Carlisle, you'll have to google for it)

Alternatively, try the <xmp> tag. This is obsolete and deprecated, but as far as I'm aware it still works, and it's often very handy. Try

Code:

<xmp><xsl:copy-of select="..."/></xmp>
