Re: Stripping or converting HTML tags

Bruce / Manos...

Thanks very much for your prompt responses!

It occurred to me right as I sent the mail that perhaps I could hard code a
<p> tag in with an <xsl:value-of select> function.

<xsl:template match="xhtml:table | xhtml:TABLE | xhtml:td | xhtml:TD |
xhtml:th | xhtml:TH | xhtml:tr | xhtml:TR">
    <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="*">
        <p><xsl:value-of select="*"/></p>
    </xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template> 

Well spotted Manos, yes I concur about the case issue. We are doing this so
that the final output is all in lower case so as to make everything XHTML
compliant.
