I'll let you in on a secret, http://search.cpan.org/grep?cpanid=SHLOMIF&release=XML-LibXSLT-1.94&string=expand&i=1&n=1&C=0 `t/06entities.t 12:# $parser->expand_entities(1); t/15misc.t 17: $parser->expand_entities(0);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
Re^2: Preserve Entity References in XSLT using XML::LibXSLT by admiral_grinder (Pilgrim) on Nov 09, 2015 at 13:50 UTC
Thanks, but I'm not seeing a solution in these. The 06entities test has the entity in the XSLT itself, but it looks like the engine is outputting the character instead of the entity. In the 15misc test, the first block is reading in a xml doc that has an entity, but the XSLT isn't outputing it. I'm not sure why this test exists though because it is not testing anything from the output of the transform. So the expand entities work when I'm trying to normalize my source xml for easier diffs, but I need the entities to show up in the output xml as is.	[reply]
