I have a client who requires all text in the xml I supply them with to be in CDATA sections. I understand that text should not need to be in CDATA as it has already been parsed and transformed when it is supplied to the client. However, no matter how sure I am, they still need the CDATA sections. Sigh.
I am processing my data with Saxon 9.3, using the command line transform command.
Well as your question title talks about XSLT and your question is flagged as XSLT, the XSLT way to ensure a result element’s content is serialized as a CDATA section is to use the
cdata-section-elementsattribute on thexsl:outputelement (http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#serialization) listing all elements you want to output as CDATA sections. Thus if you know the elements you want to output as CDATA sections when writing the stylesheet it is a simple as listing them in that attribute.Does that help? Or do you want to postprocess arbitrary XML with XSLT to add CDATA sections?
