Re: Parsing mixed content nodes

the general processing:

<!-- every node, that must not be handled especially, e.g. <item>, <p> -->
<!-- this template is not needed, it's similar to built-in templates -->
<xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<!-- <a> needs to be handled in another way -->
<xsl:template match="a">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
    <xsl:text> (</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="@href"/>
    <xsl:text>) </xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<!-- <br> too -->
<xsl:template match="br">
    <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

For every node which must be handled, write a own template. For example the
<p>-node, if you need linebreaks:

<xsl:template match="p">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
    <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
