org.w3c.dom.Document - output without escaping markup

[Rick Beaver]

Hi

I have HTML markup in a text node within an org.w3c.dom.Document and I need to write the content of that text node out to a file without it being escaped but every time I tranform it the html markup is escaped

Please can someone tell me how to do this?

You are going to have to pre-treat the text so that when the escaping occurs it ends up back the way you want.
javax.util.regex.Pattern is your friend in this.
I did a whole bunch of this sort of thing but all I can remember is a lot of very very tedious testing.

Hi Bill

Thankyou for your advice.

I will check out the regex stuff. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.
