Try <xsl:value-of select="iceCream" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

<xsl:value-of select="iceCream"/> gives you Ben &amp; Jerry

<xsl:value-of select="iceCream" disable-output-escaping="yes"/> gives you
Ben & Jerry

Subject: [xml-dev] question concerning parsing entity references in xslt


When writing a xslt file, Is it expected that all entity references will be
replace with their string replacement

i.e. if the input is
<iceCream>Ben &amp; Jerry</iceCream>

when to do a
<xsl:value-of select="iceCream" />

will I get

Ben &amp; Jerry
Or

Ben & Jerry
