I have a xml fragment like below
<Detail uid="6">
<![CDATA[
<div class="heading">welcome to my page</div>
<div class="paragraph">this is paraph</div>
]]>
</Detail>
and I want to be able to change the
<div class="heading">...</div> to <h1>Welcome to my page</h1>
<div class="paragraph">...</div> to <p>this is paragraph</p>
do you know how I can do that in xslt 1.0

A CDATA section is used to mark a section of an XML document, so that the XML parser interprets it only as character data, and not as markup. It comes handy when one XML data need to be embedded within another XML document.
CDATA sections can appear inside element content and allow < and & character literals to appear. A CDATA section begins with the character sequence <! [CDATA[ and ends with the character sequence ]]>. Between the two character sequences, an XML processor ignores all markup characters such as <, >, and &.
A CDATA section contains text that will NOT be parsed by a parser. Tags inside a CDATA section will NOT be treated as markup and entities will not be expanded. The primary purpose is for including material such as XML fragments, without needing to escape all the delimiters.
CDATA sections may be added anywhere character data may occur; they are used to escape blocks of text containing characters which would otherwise be recognized as markup. CDATA sections begin with the string " <! [CDATA[ " and end with the string " ]]> ".
What about running two transforms.
Pass 1.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Detail">
<Detail>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</Detail>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Will produce:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Detail uid="6">
<div class="heading">welcome to my page</div>
<div class="paragraph">this is paraph</div>
</Detail>
Pass 2.)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*| node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="div[@class='heading']">
<h1><xsl:value-of select="."/></h1>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="div[@class='paragraph']">
<p><xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Produces:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Detail uid="6">
<h1>welcome to my page</h1>
<p>this is paraph</p>
</Detail>
You cannot tell XSL 1.0 to fish a string out of a CDATA and parse it as XML.
