Due to this consideration I would propose: text()[generate-id() = generate-id(ancestor::p[1]/descendant::text()[1]) ] Of course, for this to work whitespace-only nodes must be stripped by a <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> ===== Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev. http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/ -- the home of FXSL XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
