I'm pretty new to XSL myself, so I will probably be corrected.  I am not
aware functionality that can select a specific word based on the order
it is within a node.  The only way I know to do that is with
substring-before and substring-after.

This HTML/XML:

<p> the quick
	<em>brown</em>
	fox jumps
</p>

Transformed with this Style Sheet:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
 xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt">

<xsl:template match="p">
	<html>
		<p>
			<xsl:value-of select="concat(' ',
substring-before(substring-after(., ' '), ' '), ' ')"/>
			<em>
				<xsl:value-of
select="substring-before(substring-after(substring-after(., ' '), ' '),
em)"/>
				<xsl:value-of select="concat(' ', em, '
')"/>
				<xsl:value-of
select="substring-before(substring-after(., em), ' ')"/>
			</em>
			<xsl:value-of select="concat(' ',
substring-after(substring-after(., em), ' '))"/>
		</p>
	</html>	
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Produces this HTML source code with MSXML:

<html xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt">
<p> the <em>quick
	 brown 
	fox</em> jumps
</p>
</html>

Sorry for the newbie question. I did search the archive, but I guess I
just
didn't know what keywords to use.

Say you are doing an HTML-to-HTML transformation and you want to
transform:
<p> the quick <em>brown</em> fox jumps </p>to:
<p> the <em>quick brown fox</em> jumps </p>How would you match the <em>
element and the two words immediately surrounding it, so you can
rearrange
them in the template? Or would you match p[em] instead and then
rearrange
its children somehow?

Thanks,
Chulsung Kim
