Paul,
Why on earth would you want to do this?
If it's valid xml which it must be to get this far why write it out as a
cdata. What is wrong with
<doc>
<display>
<html>
<body>John Doe</body>
</html>
<display>
</doc>
Something not mentioned on here ever is the cdata-section-elements attribute
on the xsl:output element. So
<xsl:output method="xml" cdata-section-elements="body" />
will get you
<body><![CDATA[John Doe]]></body>
Which isn't what you want. But if you really want to make life difficult for
yourself then
<xsl:template match="/">
<doc>
<display>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"
select="concat('<','![CDATA[')" />
<html>
<body><xsl:value-of select="/person/name" /></body>
</html>
<xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="concat(']]', '>')"
/>
</display>
</doc>
</xsl:template>
I don't think you want to really do that though.
