Hi Jeff,
At 03:28 PM 9/30/2003, you wrote:
The second match criteria you gave was able to pick off the first
bit of text successfully. However (and this has been the crux of
my issue) if I include a template that tries to copy-of the
contents of the <content> node, the text selection template
never gets matched.
Yes, that's correct; you need to copy the element and attribute nodes with
the stepwise identity transform that copies one node at a time, rather than
copy-of.
Ask again if you don't know the transform to which I am referring ... it's
in the spec and appears frequently on this list.
The second match will work, but it's not foolproof: if your source has
<content><p><a href="gohere.com">Special</a> pages are on <i>Special</i>
this month!</p></content>
...both the text node in the <a> and the one in the <i> will match...
Cheers,
Wendell
