&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</LongDescription>


When I am reading the text from xslt like below

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

All html formating is not printing in the web page

Please can you help, so that format of the html in node <LongDescription> prints as is on web page

Please find attached my xml and xslt file

which html formatting are you missing?
and how do you view this?

If I run your XSLT against your XML (after correcting the obvious conbtext issue in the for-each)
I get exactly what I need... the layouted description

Or is it the context issue that is the problem?
In the for each you need to strip the path up to the level on the root element
line 13 should read
      <xsl:for-each select="Result/XmlContent">
if the XML you sent really is teh source

How do you view the results and how do you run the XSLT?

If this is the actual XML and XSLT you need to change the context in teh for-each as I indicated

<LongDescription> node is printing on the html page but with no formatting

Please suggest

again, how do you execute the XSLT and how do you view the results?

This is important information.
If for instance you are running this in FireFox or using the TransformiX XSLT processor,
this will not work simply because there is no support for disable-output-escaping there
d-o-e is not mandatory and some processors simply don't support it (and claim they never will)
In that particular case, you need to preprocess the lot to make it XML nodes instead of a text node prior to the XSLT
(and hope the html is wellformed XML)

so please tell me how you execute the XSLT and how you view the result
