title: Updating xml using stylesheet with special characters
body: <p>I am updating an xml document using special tag characters. I use a style sheet to add nodes. The value of the node is build in the java code and passed as a String using xsl:param..</p>
  
  <p>The issue is I am adding node which has java string value:</p>
  
  <p>&lt;nodeName&gt;value1&lt;/nodeName&gt;</p>
  
  <p>and it appears as</p>
  
  <p><code>&amp;lt</code>;nodeName<code>&amp;gt</code>;value1<code>&amp;lt</code>;/nodeName<code>&amp;gt</code>;</p>
  
  <p>in the xml document</p>
  
  <p>Please advise how can i amend the style sheet or the escape the java string value.</p>
  
  <p>Regards,
  B</p>
