Is there a way to get xml to IGNORE < and >

[Eric]

I'm trying to build a mailto url like so:

<td class="{$sData}"><![CDATA[<a href="mailto:]]><xsl:value-of
select="email"/><![CDATA[?subject=Support question">]]><xsl:value-of
select="email"/><![CDATA[</a>]]></td>

The html that's rendered looks like I would expect my html source to,
however in the source there are &lt; and &gt; chraracters so my links
don't work. Any way to get it to just spit out what I have onto the
page?

There is a way, but I'm not going to tell you, since it's
an obvious case of XY problem. Instead, here's the Right
Way to solve your problem:

<td class="{$sData}">
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:text>mailto:</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="email"/>
<xsl:text>?subject=Support question</xsl:text>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="email"/>
</a>
</td>

<xsl:text>?subject=Support question</xsl:text>

A ' ' is not allowed in URLs, so change ot to Support%20question

Indeed. Although using an url-encode template would've been
an even better solution.
