hot to print out c:if in my generated html

Question

I am trying to put c:if lines out in the HTML my XSL is creating from the XML

If I use this:

                                      <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><c:if test="${value=='yes'}"></xsl:text>                                 

when the XSL runs it says the prefix "c" for element "c:if" is not bound ..

If i use like &lt; and &gt; for the < >  before/after the c:if.. then the error goes away but my html does not render as needed.

Is there some way to put out this line of text and not have the XSL translation care abou the "c:if" ??
