Question

I’m using XSLT to transform an XML document to text. The text nodes of the XML document have < characters in them, which of course bombs the transformation. Is there anyway to get an XSLT transformation to work with a < character in a text node? In this case, all such characters are followed by whitespace.

Answer 1

Use entities instead of the character

<myTextTag> 1 &lt; 2, and 4 &gt; 2. This is how numbers work</myTextTag>

And there should be an option in your API to convert them on transformation/output
