XSL HTML Generation

How do I hide some HTML code from the generator

[Jack_Hughes]

I am currently working on a XSL transformation of a XML file to HTML. Unfortunately, my html is php code and as such contains all sorts of things like includes and such that my XSL processor finds a little puzzling.

Is there a way I can hide some of the html from the processor so that it just places it into the generated html file without looking at it too much?

You can hide code inside escaped text blocks; your XSLT processor will ignore anything inside a CDATA block and pass it through:

<![CDATA[
some text
a few & reserved < characters
<some non-compliant markup>
the text string <xsl:value-of select="$var">, not its value
]]>

Also read up on the cdata-section-elements attribute of <xsl:output>.
