I also proposed as a possible solution the use of <xsl:copy-of select="text()"/> in my reply to Jeff. It seems that many people would use xsl:value-of instead of xsl:copy-of. This, of course, is not the solution, as it outputs only the first text-node child. It seems to me that the reason why people arrive at hurried conlusions like this is because they use a concrete, very specific xml source document and do not test their solution with other xml documents. It would be extremely useful to have a test-data generator -- in this case a generator of a series of xml documents that fit a particular DTD/Schema. Also an automated testing environment, in which such generated test data is continuously processed by the tested transformation and the results are compared to the results that are required. Does anybody know about any such tool? ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
