[xsl] Retrieving info between two tags.

["Maxine Pensyl-Johnson" <Maxine.Pensyl-Johnson@xxxxxxx>]

Greetings everyone,

I have a situation where I need to define separate out puts for each
para tag within the step1 tag. So I've created a <step1> template and in
it I test the para number and output the correct formatting. For the
first para it outputs the para followed by the seqlist.

The second para's are where I'm having some difficulty. I need pull the
text from the second para into a table row. Then  and pull the item tags
into another row.

So my question is what's the best way to retrieve the non-nested
information in a tag?


XPATH 1.0
SAXON 6.5.5

Example tags:

<step1>
	<para>para1<seqlist>
		<item>1</item>
		<item>2</item>
		<item>3</item></seqlist></para>
	<para>Para2<seqlist>
		<item>1</item>
		<item>2</item>
		<item>3</item></seqlist></para>
	<para>para3</para>
</step1>


In this situation I need to retrieve the text between <para> &
<seqlist>. Originally I tried <xsl:apply-templates select="para[2]". But
that gave me


Para2
	1
	2
	3

The para[2] template match pulled in the seqlist formatting.

So then I tried the value-of select="para[2]" and that gave me

Para2 1 2 3

How can I select and output only what's between <para[2]> and <seqlist>?

XSL:
       <xsl:when test="para[2]">
           <table>
            <tr>
               <td style="PADDING-RIGHT: 2px"><xsl:number
count="//step1[para[2]]" format="1."/></td>
               <td><xsl:value-of select="para"/></td>
            </tr>
            </table>
       </xsl:when>
