Title: Pattern matching

Hello. My name is Stefano Bovone. I'm an italian engineer and I work for the Elsag S.p.a. Elsag is an industry that produces hybrid mail systems, machines for postal sorting, client assistance, electronic commerce, ecc. ecc.

I'm studying XML/XSL and my principal goal is to render ducument in printing.

Actually I have a problem: I have the following XML document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<document>
<common>
<text>First Line</text>
<insert pl="1"/>
<text>Second Line</text>
<insert pl="2"/>
</common>

<particular>
<insert_text num="1">First Insert</insert_text>
<insert_text num="2">Second Insert</insert_text>
</particular>

<particular>
<insert_text num="1">First Insert 2</insert_text>
<insert_text num="2">Second Insert 2</insert_text>
</particular>

.....

<particular>
<insert_text num="1">First Insert 1000</insert_text>
<insert_text num="2">Second Insert 1000</insert_text>
</particular>

</document>

and the following XSL stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl">

<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<BODY>
 <xsl:for-each select="/document/particular">
 <xsl:apply-templates select="/document/common/*"/>
 </xsl:for-each>
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text">

<xsl:apply-templates/>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="insert">

<xsl:value-of select=" --- ???? ---- "/>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I want the following HTML output:

<HTML>
<BODY>
First Line
First Insert
Second Line
Second Insert

First Line
<First insert 1
Second Line
Second Insert 1

.....

First Line
<First insert 1000
Second Line
Second Insert 1000

</BODY>
</HTML>

What pattern matching may I use in place of " --- ???? ---- " ?

Thanks.
Best regards.
