disable-output-escaping needed in this situation?
I am trying to generate some Javascript with an XSLT stylesheet. I have
to generate it with the stylesheet and put it in the document because
the values that go into the Javascript function calls come from the data
in the XML file itself. I am also putting HTML into the function calls,
so this means that I must use ' to quote the strings (otherwise the "
around the attributes in the HTML tags would confuse the Javascript
parser). However, some of the data I am pulling from the XML files has
apostrophes in it already, and I need to be able to include those in the
final output. However, Cocoon insists on changing ' into '. This
also confuses the Javascript parser. The apostrophes in the XML are
entities (') so it would be ideal if I could tell Cocoon to stop
turning them into '. I can't change the XML files so that they all say
&apos; (nor would I want to, yuck!), so what am I supposed to do? It
doesn't seem like disable-output-escaping would be "bad programming
practice" in this instance. Maybe I'm rushing to judgment here, but it
seems that it was a poor design decision to *disable* something you
think a "bad programming practice." After all, goto's in C still compile
and work, but no C programmer worth her salt would *ever* use one, and
that's because over the years we have more or less proven you can do
anything w/o goto's that you can do with them, only better. If someone
knows a way I can do this with the functionality already in Cocoon, I'll
recant... :-)
