User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

XSL processor ignores attribute disable-output-escaping="yes" in <xsl:text> node. 
Not shure if that is a bug, but it is working in MSIE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create plain xml referencing a xsl
2.create xsl holding this node 
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt; br / &gt; </xs;:text>
3. load that xml into FireFox like a html site

Actual Results:  
Displays
< br />

Expected Results:  
do the line break

Mozilla firefox 1.5.0.7 for windows

I believe that the example Thomas attached is not really the right description for the bug as the functionality he describes is right. When you want a line break you have to type "< br / >" but when you type "&lt; br / &gt;" you have to get "< br / >" as a text result. So it is not the right example.

My example for tihs bug is:
I would like to place a non-breaking space into my result page so i place the following text into my xslt file:

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

This works with both Opera and IE6/7 but does not work with Firefox 1.5/2.

With Opera I get a non-breaking space in the output but with Firefox I get text result "&nbsp;".

And the cause might be what Thomas discovered: disable-output-escaping="yes" property is ignored.

I think it is unsupported, not ignored...

By the way, it is the duplicate of Bug 98168
