Escape sequences and fop

[Rakesh Patel]

Hi,

I am seeing some strange behaviour with FOP in an embedded servlet environment 
and also within my (XML Spy) development environment.

I have an XML file and and XSL file. I process the files producing an fo 
document which is rendered by FOP.

There is one tag which needs embedded fo tags but only to be rendered fop and 
passed as is by the XSL transformation. Here's a snippit from my XML file:

<HTBodyText>
&#60;fo:block&#62;example text&#60;/fo:block&#62;
Please read our &lt;fo:basic-link 
external-destination="http://www.someplace.com/risk_warnings.html"&gt;Risks 
Warnings&lt;/fo:basic-link&gt; document
</HTBodyText>

and the XSL file:

<fo:block text-align="left" start-indent="5mm" space-before="2mm" 
font-size="12px" color="#000000" font-family="Arial, Helvetica, sans" 
font-weight="normal">
        <xsl:value-of select="HTBodyText" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</fo:block>

The embedded directives are only processed by FOP when I do this:

1. Run the xslt saving the output to a file
2. Pass the file to FOP for processing.

However, if I do it all together, either by using XMLSpy or in my servlet, the 
output ALL comes out as text.

Please help!!!

Thanks

Rakesh
