RE: [xsl] How does one go about extracting HTML anchors from an X ML file?

["Liat Jacob" <jacob_liat@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the quick response.  When I tried it, I noticed that although the 
text of the entire paragraph is displayed in the resulting HTML page (i.e., 
the 'blahs' between the <p></p> tags in the XML file), the links were not 
active (i.e., the text between the <href></href> and <a></a> tags in the XML 
file).

The previous XSL code did the opposite -- it displayed the link text 
embedded within the <p></p> tags in the XML file, but not the remaining text 
within the <p></p> (i.e., the blah's didn't show up).

Here's the XML file:

<article>
  <summary>
     <p>blah blah blah blah blah blah
        blah <href link='www.yahoo.com'> some link text here</href>blah
	 blah blah <a mailto="jacob_liat@xxxxxxxxxxx>some text here</a>
	 blah blah.</p>
     <p>second paragraph with additional anchors embedded
        throughout the paragraph text.</p>
  </summary>
</article>

I want the HTML to look like this:

<P>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah <A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com";> some 
link text here</A> blah blah blah <A HREF="mailto:jacob_liat@xxxxxxxxxxx";> 
some text here</A> blah blah blah.</P>

<P>second paragraph with additional anchors embedded throughout the 
paragraph text.</P>

Thanks,
Liat
