Re: Extracting text

<xsl:template match="p">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="span | br"/>
<!-- this template suppresses the span and br -->

<xsl:template match="p">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="text()"/>
  <!-- this instruction selects only text node children
       and processes them -->
</xsl:template>

I hope this helps,
Wendell

'lo all,

I need to extract
  'Root level text'
  'more root level text'

from:

<p>
  <span>whatever</span>
  Root level text
  <br/>
  more root level text
</p>

Any ideas?

Thanks, jon
