xsl:text
Adds a text node to the result tree.
Format
Description
The XSLT processor reports an error if instantiating text_node_contents results in anything other than characters.
You can also add text nodes to result documents by embedding the text in elements that you define.
You can specify the disable-output-escaping
attribute of the xsl:text
instruction. The allowed values are yes
