Hi Jeff,

At 03:28 PM 9/30/2003, you wrote:

The second match criteria you gave was able to pick off the first
bit of text successfully.  However (and this has been the crux of
my issue) if I include a template that tries to copy-of the
contents of the <content> node, the text selection template
never gets matched.

Yes, that's correct; you need to copy the element and attribute nodes with the stepwise identity transform that copies one node at a time, rather than copy-of.

Ask again if you don't know the transform to which I am referring ... it's in the spec and appears frequently on this list.

The second match will work, but it's not foolproof: if your source has

<content><a href="gohere.com">Special</a> pages are on Special this month!</content>

...both the text node in the <a> and the one in the will match...

Cheers,
Wendell
