Re: [xsl] Extracting value from node with formatter elements

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

value-of returns the string value of an element, you want to return an
element node, so use xsl:copy-of instead.

or better just do

   <xsl:variable name="elementText" select="." />

Then the variable holds the original element (rather tahn a copy of it)
