Hi All,

I am using XSLT 2.0 and parser Saxon.

I am transforming some html tags to another tag format. I have span tags which contain text value surrounded by formattere like bold, italic and underline. The problem is when I try to extract the value of the node, it always returns the text value without formatters , & . The following is the code:

<xsl:template match="span" mode="copy"> <xsl:variable name="elementText"> <xsl:value-of select="." /> </xsl:variable>

The input tag looks the following blah blah

I want to get the entire node value "blah blah". But using <xsl:value-of select="." /> or <xsl:value-of select="text()"/> or <xsl:value-of select="current()" /> returns only "blah blah". I cannot figure out how to get the entire value along with the formatting tags. Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Amit
