Subject: RE: [xsl] Ignoring a child element From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2006 22:43:26 +0100 |
I think you want to test whether there are any non-white descendant text nodes that are not descendants of a child TLStyle. In 2.0 that's test="(.//text() except TLStyle//text())[normalize-space()]" or in 1.0 test="(text() | *[not(self::TLStyle)]//text())[normalize-space()]" Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Emily.Garrett@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Emily.Garrett@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 07 September 2006 20:36 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [xsl] Ignoring a child element > > > I'm trying to weed out a <para> element that does not have > any content. > However, it does have a TLStyle element which would style the > content if it existed.
