222445 - "disable-output-escaping"-attribute in xsl:text-element is ignored

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 98168

(Core :: XSLT, defect)

Description

[Christian Berg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

The content of an xsl:text element is still html-escaped, even if the
disable-output-escaping="yes" attribute is set. Example:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;copy;</xsl:text>

produces &copy; in the generated html instead of the wanted copyright symbol. I
think this is a bug, at least it works in IE...

Reproducible: Always

[Jonas Sicking (:sicking) No longer reading bugmail consistently]

disable-output-escaping is an attribute to control how output (=serialization)
works. However since XSLT in mozilla doesn't do serialize it has no effect. 

d-o-e is also an optional feature of XSLT that you shouldn't rely on unless
absolutly neccesary, which it isn't here.

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;copy;</xsl:text>

is much easier written as

&#169;
