Is there a way to get xml to IGNORE < and >

I'm trying to build a mailto url like so:

<td class="{$sData} "><![CDATA[<a href="mailto:]]><xsl:value-of
select="email"/><![CDATA[?subject=Suppor t question">]]><xsl:value-of
select="email"/><![CDATA[</a>]]></td>

The html that's rendered looks like I would expect my html source to,
however in the source there are &lt; and &gt; chraracters so my links
don't work. Any way to get it to just spit out what I have onto the
page?

There is a way, but I'm not going to tell you, since it's
an obvious case of XY problem. Instead, here's the Right
Way to solve your problem:

<td class="{$sData} ">
<a>
<xsl:attribut e name="href">
<xsl:text>mailt o:</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="email"/>
<xsl:text>?subj ect=Support question</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="email"/>
</a>
</td>

Indeed. Although using an url-encode template would've been
an even better solution.

I want to display a MySQL database field that can contain HTML markup. If I use <esql:get-string> then I get all of the database field, but all tags are escaped which is not what I want. If I use <esql:get-xml> the tags are not escaped, but only the first part of the database field is displayed. The content of the database field is: "<h1>Title</h1><h2>Subtitle</h2>"

It looks like there's a pretty serious CSS bug in IE6 (v6.0.2800.1106). The HTML below is validated STRICT HTML 4.01 and renders as I would expect in Opera, FrontPage, and Netscape. For some reason, there's an annoying vertical gap between adjacent rules that doesn't go away. This looks like IE6 is incorrectly setting the margin to some arbitrary value. Does anyone know if this is a known bug at MS? If you know of one, post the...

I'm trying to design an HTML page that can edit itself. In essence, it's just like a Wiki page, but my own very simple version. It's a page full of plain old HTML content, and then at the bottom, there's an "Edit" link. So the page itself looks something like this: <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>blah</TITLE></HEAD><BODY> <!-- TEXT STARTS HERE --> <H1>Hello World!</H1> <P>More stuff here...</P>
