 A <xsl:copy-of select="."/> will select the concatenated text of all descendant text-nodes in document-order; note the additional "don't" in the result: No, copy-of literally copies the selected nodes. If you select text(), it copies all text child nodes of the current node. If you select ., it copies the current node itself, including its start and end tag and all it's descendants, resulting in: <output>"<foo>Johnny
<bar>don't</bar>
B.
<bar/>Good
</foo>"</output>MSXML does strip such whitespace text-nodes by _default_. So one might want to use <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> for compatibility with the MSXML-XSLT engine. Or just use <xsl:preserve-space elements="*" /> when using MSXSL to make it comply with the other parsers.. :-) Kind regards, Geert
