How do I output line breaks from xsl:value of

Question

I have this statement

xsl:value-of select="metadata/line1"/

where line1 is in the souce xml is:

Microsoft Windows 7 is installed&lt;br/&gt

The HTML output turns out to be:

Microsoft Windows 7 is installed&lt;br/&gt;

I want it to actually insert the break after the word installed instead of outputting the literal <br/&gt;

Instead of xsl:select, use xsl:copy-of

It will render the HTML as well

You can even try <xsl:value-of select=" " disable-output-escaping="yes" />

Seems that what you like to do is "unescape" some xml content. If I'm right disable-output-escaping should help. Try:

<xsl:value-of select="metadata/line1" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
