[xsl] inline XML <emphasis>

[Thomas Kielczewski <thomaskiel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I'm working with XML in the following form:

<cat>
<para>This is unstyled text <emphasis type="bold">and
this is bold. </emphasis>Now back to unstyled
text.</para>
</cat>


As you can see it has some inline style information
that's borderline not-well-formed. For my ease of use
I want the XML in this form (or the equivalent
result):

<cat>
<para><emphasis type="default">This is unstyled text
</emphasis><emphasis type="bold">and this is bold.
</emphasis><emphasis type="default">Now back to
unstyled text.</emphasis></para>
</cat>

As extra credit :~) I want to keep possible nesting in
mind, although my initial problem is already a sort of
nesting problem, isn't it? Let's assume that all
emphasis tags (like bold, italic, underline) will be
adjacent when opened and closed.

Can this be done in XSLT? Maybe a built-in template
coupled with an identity transform?  If this is the
wrong forum for this type of issue can someone give me
a helpful pointer?


Thanks as always for the high caliber of discussions.

Thomas Kiel
