 Hi Thiabek, All those <p>s are coming up because this html, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> is in fact 5 br nodes and 5 text nodes - the text nodes are the linefeeds. This, <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />, on the other hand, is just 5 br nodes. If you use <xsl:strip-space elements="body"/> at the top level of your stylesheet, the whitespace that becomes these unwanted text nodes will be stripped from the contents of your <body> node, and you won't get those pesky p's. The reason your "it is text which has body as parent" doesn't appear is that your body/text() template is firing instead of the default text() template, which looks like this: <xsl:template match="text()|@*"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:template> Text nodes are like your br nodes, they don't have children so <xsl:apply-templates> does nothing. Just replace it with <xsl:value-of select="."/>. salut, Tom > -----Original Message----- > From: abradoom [mailto:thiabek@xxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 23 August 2002 11:06 > To:
