Re: [xsl] Getting all the text of an element, except for one type

["Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex gerrit.imsieke@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rick,

Martin's and Syd's approaches using detailed template matches are preferable, but let me just point out what you were missing.

Let me paraphrase the expression slightly:

title/descendant-or-self::* except ./data

where . is the section element that the template matches.

But section has no data children.

You could phrase it differently, yet slightly inefficiently:

title/descendant-or-self::* except title/descendant::data

or use a predicate:

title/descendant-or-self::*[not(self::data)]

But still you'd get duplicate strings: The string value of title, plus the string value of the contained ph element.

So this won't lead to anything useful, and I, too, recommend an idiomatic template matching approach.
