Try this

<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="para">
    <p>
        <xsl:apply-templates />
    </p>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="chem">
    <span class="chem>
        <xsl:apply-templates />
    </chem>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="sub">
    <sub>
        <xsl:apply-templates />
    </sub>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()">
    <xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>

Take this example:

>         <chem>H
>             <sub>2</sub>
>         0
>         </chem>
>     </para>
> </myxml>

be:

> <p>The notation for water is <span class="chem">H<sub>2</sub>0</span></p>

> The problem I have is that if I use value-of "." I can get the value of
node, but no further templates are applied. If I use apply-templates "*" I
get the sub-templates but no value.
