Re: [xsl] handling embedded XML tags

[ninti at ninti dot com]

Sorry, the examples I provided in my original posting were not quite accurate.
This is an amended version:

> <xsl:template match="emphasis">

>   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
>   </span>
> </xsl:template>

The output I'm getting is like this:

<p>Some text here and emphasised words here and more text
here</p><span>emphasised words here</span>
 
The <para> elements are processed (including content of <emphasis> tags), then
the <emphasis> elements are
processed.

What I am trying to achieve is this:

<p>Some text here <span>emphasised words</span> and more text here</p>

So, my question is, how can I apply the 'emphasis' template in an
'inline'
manner to elements 'embedded' inside other elements?

Hope this is clear.

TIA

Mick
