say I have an XML file like:
<library>
<books>
<![CDATA[<genre><name>Sci-fi</name><count>2</count></genre>]]>
<book>
<name>
Some Book
</name>
<author>
Some author
</author>
<book>
<book>
<name>
Another Book
</name>
<author>
Another author
</author>
<book>
<books>
</library>
I want to read the CDATA element 'name' in an xslt transformer and place its value somewhere in the vaue of a tag. How do I do this? AFAIK, we cannot use xpath on the contents of CDATA. Is there some hack/workaround for this? I want to do this strictly in an XSLT.
Some XSLT products have an extension function, for example saxon:parse() that allow you to take a string containing lexical XML and convert it into a tree of nodes.
