RE: [xsl] Exclusive formatting..

James,
Your phantom values are coming from the builtin templates.

<page>
   <news name="Test">
      <author>Me</author>
      <guts>
     	This is Line 1. 
     	And this is Line 2.
      </guts>
   </news>
</page>

When you process the news element with this template

<xsl:template match="news">
		<p></p><b>Subject:</b>  <xsl:value-of select="@name"
/><br/>
  		<em>Author:</em>  <xsl:value-of select="author" /><br/>
		<xsl:value-of select="guts" />
        <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

It creates your required output but then you do an apply-templates and
the builtin templates process the author and guts elements outputting
their text. Change it to 

<xsl:template match="news">
		<p></p><b>Subject:</b>  <xsl:value-of select="@name"
/><br/>
  		<em>Author:</em>  <xsl:value-of select="author" /><br/>
		<xsl:value-of select="guts" />
</xsl:template>

If you have no other elements you want to process or to

<xsl:template match="news">
	<p></p><b>Subject:</b>  <xsl:value-of select="@name" /><br/>
	<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

And add

<xsl:template match="author">
  		<em>Author:</em>  <xsl:value-of select="." /><br/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="guts">
		<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>

If there are other elements you want to process
