264135 - XHTML entities aren't processed when output using <xsl:text> with output escaping off.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 98168

(Core :: XSLT, defect)

Description

[Jonathan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9

XHTML entities, such as © should be displayed as the proper characters,
such as ©. Instead, the entity reference is output to the page as is.

The entities are created using the xsl:text element, e.g.:
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;copy;</xsl:text>

Since XHTML is XML, I'm currently using <xsl:output method="xml"... /> as well
as specifying the doctype for XHTML 1.0 Strict.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
2. (In an xsl:template element) <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;copy;</xsl:text>
3. Render XML document with associated XSL stylesheet in browser.

Actual Results:  
The entity reference &copy; was not rendered correctly in the browser (it showed
as the entity itself, i.e. "&copy;").

Expected Results:  
The copyright symbol should've been rendered.
