I'm having trouble parsing an RSS feed (version 2.0), over which I have no control, server-side using using classic ASP and XSL (version 1)
Mu guess is that the problem lies in the following line of the RSS feed:
<description>&lt;![CDATA[ text ]]&gt;</description>
The result is that none of the content in between the description tag shows up on screen. Below are the relevant pieces of code.
Is there a way in XSL 1.0 to fix the < and > in front of and after the CDATA section? If it can only be done in XSLT 2.0, I would be glad to learn how. Thanks in advance.

Well assuming your stylesheet is only processing XML documents where the description element looks like below

<description><![CDATA[description text]]></description>

then you could use <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(substring-after(description, '[CDATA['), ']]')"/>
