xslt - Transforming XML mixed nodes with disable-output-escaping -

variations on question have been posted, couldn't find address base case. thought have canonical answer simplest version of problem. question assumes xslt 1.0.

i have xml document contains mixed nodes, e.g.:

 <paragraph>      text <bold>bold</bold>       , <italic>italicized.</italic> </paragraph> 

i typically use transformation looks this:

 <xsl:template match="bold">     <b><xsl:apply-templates/></b> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="italic">     <i><xsl:apply-templates/></i> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="paragraph">     <p><xsl:apply-templates/></p> </xsl:template> 

which works great until want use disable-output-escaping="yes", attribute of xsl:value-of. there way select text-portion of mixed node can apply value-of independent of embedded nodes?

this, of course, doesn't work because lose child nodes:

 <xsl:template match="paragraph">     <p><xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/></p> </xsl:template> 

i know fact trying represents inherent problem in way handling xml, of xml being fairly-naively generated (trusted) user input, , trying avoid lot of processing code between xml->xslt->html form (if possible).

if understand right, want text nodes come out literal text (disable-output-escaping="yes"), rest of transformation should work (<bold> <b> etc.)

template modes can help:

<xsl:stylesheet    version="1.0"    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/xsl/transform" >   <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />    <xsl:template match="paragraph">     <p>       <xsl:apply-templates mode="literal" />     </p>   </xsl:template>    <!-- literal templates (invoked in literal mode) -->   <xsl:template match="bold" mode="literal">     <b><xsl:apply-templates mode="literal"/></b>   </xsl:template>   <xsl:template match="italic" mode="literal">     <i><xsl:apply-templates mode="literal"/></i>   </xsl:template>   <xsl:template match="text()" mode="literal">     <xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes" />   </xsl:template>    <!-- normal templates (invoked when don't use template mode) -->   <xsl:template match="bold">     <b><xsl:apply-templates /></b>   </xsl:template>   <xsl:template match="italic">     <i><xsl:apply-templates /></i>   </xsl:template>  </xsl:stylesheet>
