Hi I'm still a bit new to XSLT and I'm trying to write a certain xpath expression without any success.
I'm processing an xhtml file (basically, it's just html really) to add some styling (e.g. fonts etc).
Initially, I started off with a template for matching text in the html, and the line was as follows:
<xsl:template match="xhtml:body//text()">
This rule worked fine, and matched on text nodes in the html.
An extra requirement then came up - I wanted to change this line so that it only matched on text nodes that didn't have a <font> element as an ancestor. The following line is my current attempt to do this:
<xsl:template match="xhtml:body//text()[not(ancestor::font)]">
but it doesn't work. The XSLT processor does the processing without any errors, but it matches on lines that do have a font ancestor, so I haven't written the line right...
can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong?
thanks! alex
