Richard MoseleySubject: Wnat to use presence of tag to parse text in XML to XML transform
Author: Richard Moseley
Date: 15 Jul 2013 10:48 AM
I want to convert XML (that was converted from HTML) to another XML, and I want to get the XLST to recognize the <br /> tag to parse text into SEPARATE elements.

I have this Input XML:

<element>
text1
<br />text2
<br />text3
</element>

If I use <xsl:value-of select=/element"/>

I get this output
<element>text1 text2 text3</element>

I want this output:
<element>text</element>
<element>text</element>
<element>text</element>
