Vikram,
At 01:39 PM 12/6/2006, you wrote: If it's textual content, I agree.. We certainly want to continue with <p>Hello, <b>World!</b></p> There was no indication in the OP's question that this was the case. Rather, the question was asked very generally. This is like someone saying "how do I slice up my chiles" and your saying "it seems a bit strange to add chiles" and when I say "but there's nothing wrong with chiles" you say "what if I'm making ice cream?" Actually, maybe I'm being a bit hard on you ... it may actually be true that even having to use the construct xsl:value-of select="text()[1]" is an indication of poor design in general, for reasons you imply. But we don't know that for sure in this case. (We also can't assume the OP controls the design. Many people are writing XSLT to handle, and even improve, badly designed XML.) As for the relevance of your post to the list -- it's perfectly within scope. Theoretical questions and debates are welcome, as long as they're related to XSL. Cheers, Wendell To me, it gives me the same uncomfortable feeling as someone doing the following in html: <table> <tr><td>Hello</td></tr>whoa whats this text doin here,..just don't belong! <tr><td>World</td></tr> </table> ====================================================================== Wendell Piez mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com 17 West Jefferson Street Direct Phone: 301/315-9635 Suite 207 Phone: 301/315-9631 Rockville, MD 20850 Fax: 301/315-8285 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mulberry Technologies: A Consultancy Specializing in SGML and XML ======================================================================
