Help! Parsing HTML inside XML with XSLT

Hi, I'm using OpenCMS and XML/XSLT to produce pages... The structure
OpenCMS use for internal pages is something like this:

<[CDATA[<xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><root><title><b>A
title</b></title></root>]]>

The desired effect I want to get is a page with "A title" in bold
letters, so I use the following XSL:

<xsl:copy-of select="/root/title"/>

But I only get "A title" in normal letters (not bold), so it ignores
"<b>" and "</b>"... Can anyone help me in the way of obtaining "A title"
in bold letters... Thanks a lot.... I think the problem is the enclosing
CDATA (because the same XML works just perfect transforming it locally
with Xalan) but that's OpenCMS doing and I cannot take it off...
Any help appreciated...

A CDATA section normally starts with <![CDATA[

Well if you have
<root><title><b>A title</b></title></root>
in your XML and want to transform that to HTML where the <b> element is
preserved as the HTML <b> element which has the "bold" presentation
meaning then you can use XSLT alike
<xsl:template match="title">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="b">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:copy />
</xsl:template>
and where you want to out the title element you use
<xsl:apply-templates select="/root/title" />

But if you use CDATA sections to wrap XML markup then you will have a
hard time to apply XSLT to that as XSLT only sees that as text and not
as markup.
