Have been trying, on and off, to do an XML based blog for a while now and while I can get everything else working fine I keep getting stuck when it comes to rendering href's in the text.
I finally got it working today but it's clumsy I think and based on a 2001 javascript book so I'm hoping someone here can point me to a good book that has the info I need in it, or can explain it here.
Here is the XML file, as you can see the CDATA is the way I am using to render the href, with escaping turned off in the xslt.
<?xml version ="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl" ?>
<testtext>
<story>
<text><![CDATA[
This is a test of URL embedding. <a href="http://www.gen-xxx.com">Testing here</a>
]]></text>
</story>
</testtext>
And here is the xslt
<?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" indent="no" encoding="iso-8859-1" />
<xsl:template match="testtext">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:for-each select="story">
<xsl:value-of select="./text" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Any help would be appreciated, this has been driving me nuts for so long (like more than 2 years) and I can just never find the correct way of doing it with an xsl command.
