Display XML in HTML files (XSLT)

<!--
    While working with XSLT templates, I came across an interesting problem. I am using an XSLT template
    to transform an XML file into HTML. However, for debugging purposes I need to see the original XML
    and since the generation process is done on a web server (like Resin does), it is not easy to get it.
    The solution: display the original XML file inside the output HTML itself. As it turns out, this was
    not easy since it requires to change all "<" and ">" to use entities like "<" and ">". In XSLT,
    the solution looks as follows (another solution would be to use JavaScript to escape this client-side)

<xsl:template match="*">
<<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>>
<xsl:value-of select="text)"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>><BR/>
</xsl:template>
