I think iam not clear I will explain it u in detail.

In my xml document i hve a text like this

<b> vinay </b>

when i use xsl to tranform it to browser, the values have been parsed like this

<b>vinay</b>

I dont want it to be parsed.

I should get the text in bold.

Hello -

If I understood the question correctly,...

In the XSL when you are transforming the xml if you do something like:

<xsl:template match="bold">
&lt;b&gt;vinay&lt;b&gt;
</xsl:template>

you are giving the browser the escapes. Which are translated into literal characters instead of instructions. The escapes used in HTML are the same as in XML.

you want to do
<xsl:template match="bold">
<b>vinay</b>
</xsl:template>

Hope this helps,
-Mike

I hve done it using this statement

<xsl:value-of select="'<BR/>'" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
