> My next query regards cdata. I start with this:

> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252" ?> 
> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
> xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
> <xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml"
> cdata-section-elements="Description Longdesc"/>
> 
> I have 2 fields "Description" and "Longdesc" that I want in 
> cdata as they contain odd characters. Is there an easy way of 
> copying the entire XML file so that those 2 fields are 
> translated into cdata? I don't want to go through the entire 
> XML file line-by-line.

> Many thanks,
