Re: [xsl] Getting text and non-block nodes before any block nodes

["Wendell Piez wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

I should have added that when grouping to induce structure, you need
to keep in mind that select="node()" will select whitespace-only text
nodes, comments and PIs along with the stuff you probably want, and
these can split your groups. So select="*|text()[matches(.,'\S')]" (or
a similar adjustment) may better when using this technique.

Cheers, Wendell
