> Hi all, > I have a beginners question regarding capturing of > text node and tags within it, with this example: Well (a) you can't have elements within a text node, and (b) nodes appear in the tree view of an XML document, while tags appear only in the lexical view, so you're badly mixing up your concepts. If the lexical view is <span>Some <bold>strong</bold> text</span> then the tree view contains two elements (span and bold) and three text nodes ("Some ", "strong", and " text"). > > <root> > <p> > <span> > <field>Data1</field> > </span>Some bold <b>text here</b>. > </p> > <p> > <span> > <field>Data2</field> > </span>Sample data that needs to appear <b>bold</b> > and <it>ital</it>. > </p> > </root> > > output: > > <Data1>Some bold <bold>text here</bold>.</Data1> > <Data2>Sample data that needs to appear > <bold>bold</bold> and <ital>ital</ital>.</Data2> > > here is XSL: > > <xsl:template match="p"> > <xsl:apply-templates select="span"/> > </xsl:template> > > <xsl:template match="span"> > <xsl:element name="{field/text()}"> > <xsl:value-of select="following::text()[1]"/> > </xsl:element> > </xsl:template> Replace <xsl:value-of select="following::text()[1]"/> with <xsl:copy-of select="following-sibling::node()"/> because (a) you only want to copy siblings of the span element (children of the same p element), not everything in the rest of the document (which is what following:: does) (b) you want to copy elements (such as the bold element) as well as text nodes, and (c) you want to copy the nodes as a tree structure rather than reducing them all to plain text which is what xsl:value-of does.
