special characters in XML

[marlene leach]

I am having problems trying to display an XML node using XSL when the node
contains special characters. I have tried using an example from one of your
previous discussions as follows:
<xsl:eval no-entities='true'>this.nodeValue<xsl:eval>

Here is my XML
<news_text>
link to <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>]]here.
</news_text>

Here is my XSL
<xsl:template match="news_text/text()">
<xsl:eval no-entities='true'>this.nodeValue<xsl:eval>

with this code I get absolutely nothing on the web page

if I use
<xsl:template match="news_text>
<xsl:value-of />

Then the web page displays

link to <a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a> here.

I want my this data to display as a link. Is this possible?

I forgot to mention that my project requires that I use msxml 2.5
and IE5.5 as the browser.
