Generating CDATA through XSLT

[Tushar Kherde]

Hi All,

How can I write XSLT that outputs CDATA nodes?

For example, how would I modify XSLT code that looks like this:

<xsl:element name="root">
<xsl:element name="node">
<xsl:value-of select="value"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>

to produce an output like this:

<root>
<node><![CDATA[ This is my value ]]></node>
</root>

You need an "<xsl:output cdata-section-elements="node"/>" element. Here's some more information on xsl:output.

Hi

I tried given code but its not working

I am generating XML through XML using XSLT and I want the following output

  <condition storedcolumn="INDUSTRY_CODE" displaycolumn="INDUSTRY_NAME" tablename="CAMA_INDUSTRY">
                <![CDATA[wherecodition]]>       
                </condition>  

This is what i have written. Please help how to add <![CDATA[]]>

 <xsl:element name="condition">
                    <xsl:attribute name="storedcolumn"><xsl:value-of select="$storedcolumn"/></xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:attribute name="displaycolumn"><xsl:value-of select="$displaycolumn"/></xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:attribute name="tablename"><xsl:value-of select="@namespace"/></xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:value-of select="$wherecondition"/>
                </xsl:element>
            </xsl:element>    

Please let me know if any explaination is required

So what does your xsl:output element look like?

[Tushar Kherde]

It is giving an error

Element must only be used at top level of stylesheet and Element must be empty

This is how i used it, and code is under template tag

   <xsl:output cdata-section-elements="condition">
                    <xsl:attribute name="storedcolumn"><xsl:value-of select="$storedcolumn"/></xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:attribute name="displaycolumn"><xsl:value-of select="$displaycolumn"/></xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:attribute name="tablename"><xsl:value-of select="@namespace"/></xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:value-of select="$wherecondition"/>
                </xsl:output>
