Don't have time for a long reply, but try xsl:copy-of

Subject [xsl] super basic xsl question
Thanks to everyone on the list that helped me with my last problem. I still have some fundamental misunderstanding of how xsl is supposed to work, because I can't figure out how to do this:
<xmlroot> <child>some text</child> <child><a href="">a link</child> </xmlroot>
and convert it to say...
<ul> <li>some text</li> <li><a href="">a link</child> </ul>
I've tried various combos like: <xsl:template match="child"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:template>
but that means I lose the <a> tags.
I thought something with <xsl:copy> would work, but that gives me the context node, and furthermore, it doesn't give me the children, so it does the opposite. Then I thought fiddling with the 'select' expr in the value-of tag would do it, but I can't figure out if there's a magical combination of XPath slang that means, "whatever the hell is below here, be it tags or text, i want them".
jeb.
