Subject: AW: [xsl] Conditional extraction of data From: "Huditsch Roman" <Roman.Huditsch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2004 15:51:33 +0100 |
Hi Peter, You can output the text of an element via <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>, since an elements text is held in an own text node. So according to the given example <xsl:value-of select="foo"/> should just output "this is the value of foo" Hope this helps. Good luck for your exercises!

An XPath expression always seems to return an entire sub-tree, and it seems to me that I just want a single node in this case. Will xsl-copy give me that?

As both sub elements <bar> and <p> are _inside_ element <foo>, their textual content is returned as well. The output is therefore: " this is the value of foo this is the value of bar.this is the value of a paragraph that is the child of bar " (including new-lines when white-space is preserved) > <xsl:copy-of select="foo"/> will output a copy of all the text elements > as well as the elements and there values that are descendants of foo. > > Sorry for the confusion! > > <M:D/> Grtz, Geert ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
