Subject: RE: [xsl] text() function From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2005 20:06:21 +0100 |

Consider the following elements: <a>blah</a> <b><x>blah</x></b> <c>bl<i>ah</i></c> <d>bl<!--c-->ah</d> <e>foo <x/> blah</e> <f>blah <x/> foo</f> The first expression selects only <a> and <f>. The second expression selects all six of these elements. Generally, it's best to work with the string value (or in 2.0, the typed value) of an element, rather than working directly with its text nodes. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
