This is not really the place to ask general XML/DOM questions but here's what you're probably doing wrong: I presume you add the "<PAGE/>" as part of a text node. That way some of the character get escaped like "<" to <. To get around that you need to split up your text node into different nodes. An example:
"variable text bla bla <PAGE/> variable text" has to be expressed in a DOM as text node: "variable text bla bla " element node: "PAGE" text node: " variable text" That way, the special character don't get escaped. I hope this helps. > I'm new in programming with xml, xsl, xsl:fo and i have (not but) one > problem: > > I'm generating a xml-file with dom-interface, > this file shoud bei transformed via xsl into a xsl:fo file. > > I don't know, how to get xml-tags into the output-xml-file with dom. > > For example a variable footer-text with a page-number-tag inside: > > The fo-file shoud contain: > ... > <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after"> > <fo:block> > variable text from xml <fo:page-number/> variable text from xml > </fo:block> > </fo:static-content> > ... > > The xsl contains: > ... > <xsl:template match="FOOTER"> > <xsl:element name="fo:static-content"> > <xsl:attribute name="flow-name">xsl-region-after</xsl:attribute> > <xsl:element name="fo:block"> > <xsl:apply-templates/> > </xsl:element> > </xsl:element> > </xsl:template> > > <xsl:template match="PAGE"> > <fo:page-number/> > </xsl:template> > ... > > The xml shoud contain: > ... > <FOOTER> > variable text bla bla <PAGE/> variable text > </FOOTER> > ... > > BUT it contains: > ... > <FOOTER> > variable text bla bla <PAGE/> variable text > </FOOTER> > ... > > How can i get the <PAGE>-tag into a dom.text-node?
