    <p>Variations on this question have been posted, but I couldn't find any that address the base case. I thought it would be good to have a canonical answer to the simplest version of the problem. This question assumes xslt 1.0.</p> <p>I have an XML document that contains mixed nodes, e.g.:</p> <pre> &lt;paragraph&gt; This is some text that is &lt;bold&gt;bold&lt;/bold&gt; and this is some that is &lt;italic&gt;italicized.&lt;/italic&gt; &lt;/paragraph> </pre> <p>I would typically use a transformation that looks something like this:</p> <pre> &lt;xsl:template match="bold"&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;xsl:apply-templates/&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="italic"&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;xsl:apply-templates/&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="paragraph"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;xsl:apply-templates/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </pre> <p>which works great until I want to use disable-output-escaping="yes", which is an attribute of xsl:value-of. Is there a way to select the text-portion of the mixed node to which I can apply the value-of independent of the embedded nodes?</p> <p>This, of course, doesn't work because I would lose the child nodes:</p> <pre> &lt;xsl:template match="paragraph"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </pre> <p>I know the fact I am trying to do this probably represents an inherent problem in the way I am handling the XML, but much of the XML is being fairly-naively generated by (trusted) user input, and I am trying to avoid a lot of extra processing code between the XML->XSLT->HTML form (if possible).</p>

    2. COSorry to not be more clear. I want the text to be escaped, but I want to be able to continue to match any child nodes (like the bold).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
