Re: [xsl] Fwd: text nodes

["Lucas Lain" <lucas.lain@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Sam!

i meant by ' stop on the first occurrence on the "[ ]" ' this:

for this input:

<some_element>
<a>hello</a> some text 1<br/>
some text 2
some text 3
<a>hello 2</a> some text 4
some text 5
some text 6
> </some_element>

i want this output:

"some text 1 some text 2 some text 3"  and
"some text 4 some text 5 some text 6"

I am not sure how to deal with <br/> elements. I'm using xsl to
extract data from HTML.
i can't make the xsl you sent me to work. If this info helps you to
help me ... let me know.

best regards!

L.
