Help! Parsing HTML inside XML with XSLT

[=?ISO-8859-15?Q?=22Miguel_J=2E_Jim=E9nez=22?=]

Hi, I'm using OpenCMS and XML/XSLT to produce pages... The structure OpenCMS use for internal pages is something like this:

<[CDATA[<xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><root><title><b>A title</b></title></root>]]>

The desired effect I want to get is a page with "A title" in bold letters, so I use the following XSL:

<xsl:copy-of select="/root/title"/>

But I only get "A title" in normal letters (not bold), so it ignores "<b>" and "</b>"... Can anyone help me in the way of obtaining "A title" in bold letters... Thanks a lot.... I think the problem is the enclosing CDATA (because the same XML works just perfect transforming it locally with Xalan) but that's OpenCMS doing and I cannot take it off...
Any help appreciated...

A CDATA section normally starts with <![CDATA[

Well if you have
<root><title><b>A title</b></title></root>
in your XML and want to transform that to HTML where the <b> element is preserved as the HTML <b> element which has the "bold" presentation meaning then you can use XSLT alike <xsl:template match="title"> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="b"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="text"> <xsl:copy /> </xsl:template> and where you want to out the title element you use <xsl:apply-templates select="/root/title" />

But if you use CDATA sections to wrap XML markup then you will have a hard time to apply XSLT to that as XSLT only sees that as text and not as markup.
