I'm relatively new to xslt and would be happy if anyone could help me.
I have got a docbook xml-document with the following tags that I would like to extract (I just need that one tag (para and all its children) to do something non-docbook related with it)
<para condition="extract"> here is unformated <emphasis>text</emphasis> </para>

what I like is an xml with: here is unformated text.(with only one whitespace between two words and only the text of the other tags)
<title>, <section> (tags in the docbook xml) etc. are not of interest.
what is a good way to do that?
thanks in advance
Evelyne

will get you the nested tags also.

Change the xsl:copy-of to xsl:value-of to get only the text.
