1_ Let's say I have a classic Textarea Field with no formatter. If I fill this:

<p>Contains & and less < than and of course greater > than</p>
        it even contains line feeds & tabs
    <br />

The output in debug view is this:

<p>Contains & and less < than and of course greater > than</p>
it even contains line feeds & tabs
<br />

Now I want to XSLT process the HTML code but don't know how (aka convert entities to special characters and return the result). Any ideas?

<xsl:copy-of select="field" /> doesn't work, of course.

2_ A similar issue appears in Frontend Localisation extension. I'm storing $key => $value pairs of translation strings and $value can contain HTML code which is added to XML output via a DS.

How to process the above textarea input value to this?

<p>Contains &amp; and less &lt; than and of course greater &gt; than</p>
        it even contains line feeds &amp; tabs
    <br />

a.k.a. convert everything but tags? I was looking at Markdown extension but I'm lost ...

For #1 try using xsl:value-of and use the disable-output-escaping attribute.

I haven't used Frontend Localisation so can't comment on #2.

Worked. Thanks !

You don't even need to (and is recommended not to, yet). I was just wondering how to achieve this result:

<p>Contains &amp; and less &lt; than and of course greater &gt; than</p>
        it even contains line feeds &amp; tabs
    <br />

And I was looking at how Markdown does it, but couldn't figure it. So was asking for some direct help.
