Subject: Re: [xsl] NodeTest text() From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 08:37:29 -0500 |
I am trying to use the text() nodetest to extract the text only value of a string. Kay (2nd ed.) defines the function of text() as "selects all text nodes on the relevant axis".
So, I would expect the text() content of the abbr element in:
<abbr>Will<expan>elmus</expan>s</abbr>
to be 'Wills'.
(This is within the definition of a key and also includes normalise-space and translate, to complicate matters, but it should still all work.) The trouble is that the output I get from this function is 'Will', i.e. only the first text node, rather than all.
Am I misunderstanding the definition, misusing the nodetest, or is this a problem with Saxon?
