XSL transform ignores disable-output-escaping

• Component: XML
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Brian Bockelman]

When transforming XML with an XSL stylesheet, you should be able to disable output escaping when desired.

For example, I should be able to do the following:

<img>
  <xsl:attribute name="src">/graphs?var=value<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;</xsl:text></xsl:attribute>
</img>

the "src" attribute of "img" should be "/graphs?var=value&".  In Safari (but not FF or IE6), you end up with "/graphs?var=value&#38;".

The reference for this in the XSLT spec is here:

a test that works

I have tried to make a test case for this bug, but couldn't get the attribute value to be escaped, even when I removed disable-output-escaping. I'm getting identical results from Firefox 2, r18068 (from December 8th) and r23922.

Please provide more information about this issue.
