Title: Pattern matching

Hello. My name is Stefano Bovone. I'm an italian engineer and I work for the Elsag S.p.a. Elsag is an industry that produces hybrid mail systems, machines for postal sorting, client assistance, electronic commerce, ecc. ecc.

I'm studying XML/XSL and my principal goal is to render ducument in printing.

Actually I have a problem: I have the following XML document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<document>
 <common>
  <text>First Line</text>
  <insert pl="1"/>
  <text>Second Line</text>
  <insert pl="2"/>
 </common>
 
 <particular>
  <insert_text num="1">First Insert</insert_text>
  <insert_text num="2">Second Insert</insert_text>
 </particular>

 <particular>
   <insert_text num="1">First Insert 2</insert_text>
   <insert_text num="2">Second Insert 2</insert_text>
 </particular>
 

  .....

 <particular>
   <insert_text num="1">First Insert 1000</insert_text>
   <insert_text num="2">Second Insert 1000</insert_text>
 </particular>
 
</document>

and the following XSL stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">
 
<xsl:template match="/">
 <HTML>
 <BODY>
    <xsl:for-each select="/document/particular">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="/document/common/*"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
 </BODY>
 </HTML>
</xsl:template>
 
<xsl:template match="text">
 <P>
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </P>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="insert">
 <P>
 <xsl:value-of select="   --- ???? ---- "/>
 </P>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
 
I want the following HTML output:

<HTML>
 <BODY>
  <P>First Line</P>
  <P>First Insert</P>
  <P>Second Line</P>
  <P>Second Insert<P/>
 
  <P>First Line</P>
  <First insert 1<P/>
  <P>Second Line</P>
  <p>Second Insert 1<P/>


  .....

  <P>First Line</P>
  <First insert 1000<P/>
  <P>Second Line</P>
  <p>Second Insert 1000<P/>

 </BODY>
</HTML>

What pattern matching may I use in place of " --- ???? ---- " ?

Thanks.
Best regards.
