Re: [Sab] gt entity bug?

[David Burry]

Sorry, I gave too minimalist of an example... what I'm actually trying to 
do is more like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<data>
     <field>test</field>
</data>

To edit the field:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
     <xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
     <xsl:template match="/data">
         <textarea name="field"><xsl:value-of select="field"/></textarea>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I won't get into the details of how this gets written back out to the xml 
file, but trust me it does look like the first example in the end.

To display the field:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
     <xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>
     <xsl:template match="/data">
         <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="field"/>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

And accept/restore HTML code in the field.  See my last email for more 
details about specifically how/why this is failing with Sablotron right 
now, and a beginning on a discussion of the solutions.
