  1. PORetaining "<" while applying XSLT to an xml
    text
    copied!<p>I am using the XML->XHTL conversion for printing a model based window. What I do is to convert my model into a well formed xml. And then applying xsl to it.</p> <p>A few attributes in my model have large text value. Occasionally this text may contain, "&lt;" and "&gt;". Whenever such text appears, the text between "&lt;" and "&gt;" is skipped. For example, if my text is "<code>This &lt;item name&gt; belongs to me.</code>" The output I get is "<code>This belongs to me.</code>" &lt;item name&gt; is skipped. It looks like these characters in the attribute's value are also identified as the beginning and end of xml tags. They get converted to &amp;lt; and &amp;gt;. And so the value is not printed.</p> <p>Can anyone please tell me, how can i retain the angular brackets in the attribute's value in output as well? Any help is greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks, Sahitya</p> <p>P.S.-I am a newbie to xml handling and xsl as well.</p> <p>XML with the CData section: "<code>&lt;descriptionText&gt;&lt;![CDATA[This &lt;item name&gt; belongs to me.]]&gt;&lt;/descriptionText&gt;</code>"</p> <p>XSL excerpt: <code>&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="descriptionText" disable-output-escaping="yes"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;</code></p> <p>expectedOutput: <code>This &lt;item name&gt; belongs to me.</code></p> <p>ActualOutput: <code>This belongs to me.</code></p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>For implementing the print functionality at the application level, I am using the APIs of WebFrameLoadDelegate and NSPrintOperation. Once the webview is created successfully, the delegate API, </p> <p><code>- (void)webView:(WebView *)sender didFinishLoadForFrame:(WebFrame *)frame;</code> </p> <p>of the printer class, is called. Please see the implementation of this API below:</p> <pre><code>- (void)webView:(WebView *)sender didFinishLoadForFrame:(WebFrame *)frame { NSPrintInfo *pi = [NSPrintInfo sharedPrintInfo]; if ([NSPrintInfo defaultPrinter]) { [pi setPrinter:[NSPrintInfo defaultPrinter]]; } [pi setTopMargin:5.0]; [pi setLeftMargin:5.0]; [pi setBottomMargin:10.0]; [pi setRightMargin:5.0]; [pi setHorizontalPagination:NSFitPagination]; [pi setVerticalPagination:NSFitPagination]; [pi setVerticallyCentered:YES]; [pi setHorizontallyCentered:YES]; [[self.webView preferences] setAutosaves: NO]; [[self.webView preferences] setShouldPrintBackgrounds:YES]; NSPrintOperation *printOperation = [[[self.webView mainFrame] frameView] printOperationWithPrintInfo:pi]; [printOperation runOperationModalForWindow:self.window delegate:self.delegate didRunSelector:self.callbackSelector contextInfo:nil]; } </code></pre>
