Hi Mark,
Putting the code into a CDATA section is not the best decision and does not allways
work -- e.g. what if the example code has its own CDATA???
And the reason for the specific problem you describe lies in the following:
> <pre>
> <xsl:value-of select="$codeSample"/>
> </pre>
In case you use xsl:copy-of, all nodes of $codeSample will be properly copied into
the "pre" element.
Therefore use:
<pre>
<xsl:copy-of select="$codeSample"/>
</pre>
Hope this helped.
Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.
