["Magic Finger" <magic.finger@xxxxxx>]

Hello Charles,

thanks for taking time to solve my problem by providing an appropriate
stylesheet.
But as David Carlisle wrote in his email from 14 Apr 2005 14:31:55 the HTML
tags for bold and italic formatting inside TITLE are not embraced by "<" and 
">"
characters, rather by "_&_lt_;" and "_&_gt_;" (without the "_" characters,
which I only added to avoid that my original HTML-tag embracing will be
misinterpreted by your email reader).

And exactly this made me headaches and lead me to ask the community for
help.

I followed the tips of the other contributers and do now preprocess the XML 
input
file, where I substitute the HTML-tags "_&_lt_;" and "_&_gt_;" by their
equivalents "<" and ">" in a previous/first step before I apply a xsl
stylesheet like yours in a second step.

Again thanks for your help!

Best regards,
Maik
