Duane Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I would like to enter some HTML into a field in my database. Then export using XML/XSLT to produce a web page. Unfortunately, the export escapes all the HTML tags. Is there any way to turn this off during the XML export so that I get the actual characters? Any suggestions on alternative ways of doing this? (i.e. Inventing a new syntax and transforming that syntax. Oh fun.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Claridge Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 You could have the XSLT generate the HTML, rather than store it. Good Luck. Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2o.be Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Using disable-output-escaping="yes" the HTML tags will not be escaped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Posted September 4, 2004 Author Share Posted September 4, 2004 Thank you for the suggestions. > You could have the XSLT generate the HTML, rather than store it. That would be extremally difficult. Every record is different. I am preparing a FAQ database. Custom formatting of the fields is necesary to presnet the data properly. > Using > disable-output-escaping="yes" >the HTML tags will not be escaped. This only works in the XSLT, unfortunatelly FileMaker has already escaped the tags before I see them. That's what I was asking about turningit off in FileMaker. Thanks for the ideas. Still looking for suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2o.be Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 This only works in the XSLT, unfortunatelly FileMaker has already escaped the tags before I see them. That's what I was asking about turningit off in FileMaker. In attachment, I put 3 files : 1. a FMPRO 6 file "forfilemakerforum.fp5" with one single record and one field "html" 2. a xsl file "fmproxmlexport.xsl" 3. a html file "forfilemakerforum.html" whose the result of the transformation of the XML export. In the (my) result, the html tags are NOT escaped ! forfilemakerforum.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Posted September 7, 2004 Author Share Posted September 7, 2004 Thank you Jean-Marie!! I understand the process better now. FileMaker is not escaping anything. The "default" xslt process is doing the escaping because that's what it does if you tell it to do nothing. I adapted your xslt file to the DSO output format and it worked fine. Thank you, this will save me a lot of headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2o.be Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Just one thing more ... In FileMaker Pro 7, the DSO grammar has been deprecated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjaeger Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 ... but still works. It's a lot more useful than fmpxml, and since it is easy to convert between the two syntaxes, don't worry about future compatability. Just run it thru fmpxml2dso.xsl before processing.

h2o.be Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 fmpxml2dso.xsl ? I do not find it on filemaker.com, fmforums, nor google. Where can I find this stylesheet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
