List aggregation formatting problem

Question

I'm a bit of a SharePoint beginner, so please forgive me if this is a very basic question.

I have a parent site with a number of identical team sites below it. The requirement is that each team site has an announcement list, and these are aggregated into a master view on the parent site.

I have had some success doing this, basically I created a new aspx page and added a data source to this containing the announcement lists from the subsites, then saved this by pushing it out as a web part to the site gallery.

The problem I have is that the body text of the announcement is surrounded by code. I thought the solution to this would be to set the 'disable-output-escaping' property to yes, but this is already set and i still have the problem.

Here is what the xsl looks like at the moment:

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Just change your:

 <xsl:value-of select="@Editor"/>

for:

<xsl:value-of select="@Editor.title"/>

It works the same with Author(Created by)

And also you can get more properties, if you click in "Data source details" in the options tab of your SharePoint Designer, you can see all properties from your item:
