XSL-FO | FO: Tags are being removed


I'm currently using XSL for a work project and I'm facing an issue.

I'm trying to read values for a database that look like this:

<fo:block font-weight='bold>hello</fo:block>

and it seems that XSL is stripping the <fo:block> element because it gives me text only ( I only see Hello, not in bold, and it doesn't behave like a block element ). I feel like, somehow, that XSL interprets the value read from the DB as a string, and strip of the <fo> tags, leaving my with text only.

Any idea what could be done in order that my styling get preserved?

( Obviously this example have been simplified, the text to be displayed is longer than that )

Solution

  • As first i wanted to thanks you all to have taken the time to answer me. I'm very very very glad to see SO community is such strong.

    I have solved my problem this way :

     <xsl:for-each select="/fulfill-list/ticket-list/list-item/eventTicketContent/xmlTicketContent/ticketdescription/node()">
          <xsl:copy-of select="child::node()" />
        </xsl:for-each>
    

    I don't really know what happened beneath the hood and why the <fo> tags were removed, but they were. Looping through all of them and using <xsl:copy-of> did the trick.

    Once again, a big thanks to y'all !
