Re: [xsl] formatting text with nested features

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

  <xsl:for-each select="//p">
            <fo:block font-family="Times-Roman" space-before="10pt">
              <xsl:for-each select=".//text()">


You don't want to use .// here as that can easily result in pulling your
document out of sequence.

Just let xslt do the work for you.

don't use for-each, just use

<xsl:apply-templates/>

then have

<xsl:template match="p">
 <fo:block font-family="Times-Roman" space-before="10pt">
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="i">
 <fo:inline font-style="oblique">
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </fo:inline>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="b">
 <fo:inline font-weight="bold">
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </fo:inline>
</xsl:template>



etc, and XSL will just automatically do the right thing with respect to
nesting.
