Hi John, > Anyway I rearranged my template to look like the above and it works > fine. But In my larger work I need to have an template that matches > "link". Ah. OK, then you need the info template to just apply templates to all its children as before, and you need to do some clever business within the text() template to work out what to do. I think that the rules are that it should emit the normalized string, plus: * a space before the normalized string if there is a normalized string and the original string had whitespace as its first character * a space after the normalized string if there is a normalized string and the original string had whitespace as its last character This gives you a template like: <xsl:template match="text()"> <xsl:variable name="normalizedString" select="normalize-space()" /> <xsl:if test="not(normalize-space(substring(., 1, 1)))"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> </xsl:if> <xsl:value-of select="$normalizedString" /> <xsl:if test="not(normalize-space(substring(., string-length())))"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> By the way: > <xsl:template match="link"> > <xsl:apply-templates/> > <xsl:text>[</xsl:text> > <xsl:value-of select="count(preceding::link)+1"/> > <xsl:text>]</xsl:text> > </xsl:template> Could be more neatly written as: <xsl:template match="link"> <xsl:apply-templates /> <xsl:number level="any" format="[1]" /> </xsl:template> (assuming that link elements don't nest inside each other, or if they do you want them sequentially numbered) I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
