Dynamic XSL evaluation
My application access DB for content(Using SQL Transformer) which later
gets transformed into HTML via xml2html transformer.
For example, I have following sniippet in my xml2html transformer:
<xsl:variable name="welcome_title"
select="//welcome/sql:rowset/sql:row/sql:title"/>
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="$welcome_title"/>
</p>
This works fine.
If the welcome_title was "<b> Hello. Welcome to Acme, Inc. </b>"
Then the embeded HTML code is not interperted as HTML tags.
Regardless of how it's embeded in the data(as <b> or as <b>) it is
included as it was embeded.
What I like to do is to dynamically evaluate the content of
$welcome_title so that embeded HTML tags are detected and parsed as:
<p>
<b>
Hello. Welcome to Acme, Inc.
</b>
</p>
Even better would be to be able to include any XML tags and have it
dynamically evaluated by the xml2html transformer.
Any one have any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Idhaya, thanks for help. Although the solution is incorrect.
I'll agree with J.Pietschmann, I don't think a simple solution exists!
I think the reasoning is ...
the welcome_title variable is holding a text value and it's not a node set.
text value can not be processed like a node set.
Only hope, I think is with the SQL Transformer. Instead of just laying
the text it should lay the full node set if the sql column value has any
embeded tags!

That's a bad idea. This is a syntax error.

You should not put HTML snippets into a database. If you
want to extract them with Cocoon and have them delivered
as HTML in the output, you'll have to run them through an
XML parser. Just forget about simple solutions.

You can use
<xsl:value-of select="{$welcome_title}"/>
instead of
<xsl:value-of select="$welcome_title"/>
