XSL Concepts and Practical Use: XSL Element Summary

<xsl:text>

A <xsl:text> element inserts literal text into the result tree.

<xsl:text 
  disable-output-escaping = "yes" | "no">
  <!-- Content: #PCDATA -->
</xsl:text>

disable-output-escaping: If "yes", allows unescaped markup characters to be copied into the result tree.

Disabling output escaping may create result trees that are not well-formed, and are therefore not XML. Your gun, your bullet, your foot!
