Is there some way I can get XSLTForms to convert CDATA into HTML nodes which can then output to the DOM?
Any tips appreciated - one requirement - the data cannot be guaranteed to be valid HTML, so the solution will need to fall-back gracefully (and just display the text as-is - which is what I'm currently doing).
XFORM:
<?xml-stylesheet href="xsltforms/xsltforms.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<?xsltforms-options debug="no"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events"
xmlns:xf="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
>
<head>
<xf:model>
<xf:instance src="data.xml"/>
</xf:model>
</head>
<body>
<h1> What's on Tonight </h1>
<xf:repeat ref="records/record">
<details>
<summary>
<xf:output ref="title"/>
</summary>
<p>
<xf:output ref="description"/>
</p>
</details>
</xf:repeat>
</body>
</html>
DATA:
<data xmlns="">
<records>
<record>
<title><![CDATA[Macbeth]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[A <b>bold</b> interpretation of the classic play]]></description>
</record>
<record>
<title><![CDATA[Malformed]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Distopian Sci-Fi Thriller, set in a post-XML world where elements are left <unclosed>]]></description>
</record>
</records>
</data>

Instead of using
output/@ref, you should useoutput/@valueandoutput/@mediatype:
