Re: [xsl] match string

---

I have modified my template, because like you said I had lost the markup in para[1]

1.
<xsl:template match="chapter/section[1]/para[1]/*[1]/text()[1]" priority="1">

2.
<xsl:template match="para">

but now the output of the first paragraph looks like>
<p> <p> <b> Three words are </b> here </p> </p>

it is because I have a template for the first paragraphs first tag text()
and a template for every paragraph, with matches para[1] too

how can I solve this problem?

Also, in this case you probably want to match on the first text node of
the first para rather than the para itself as in

<xsl:template match="chapter/section[1]/para[1]//text()[1]" priority="1">

As you have it, you are doing string operations on the entire paragraph
text which means that any element markup within the paragraph will be
lost.
