To prevent parser from converting your entity, you have to mark it as
unparsed data. The following works:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<![CDATA[\]]>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Please note, that the result is not escaped only because of the text
output method. In case of xml or html output methods you would need
something like this:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[\]]></xsl:text>
Nice isn't it? It really doesn't look like an intended way of using
XSLT. Converting by parser and sending the resulting character with an
appropriate code page seems to be more natural to me.
