Hi All,

I am stucked with an XSLT 1.0 XPath issue when trying to reference the content of either a parent/child nodes at the same time without much luck. Let's have a look at the XML document I am trying to parse:

  <p>
<
<
<strong>World Cup Team:</strong>br clear="none" />a shape="rect">Brasil</a>(30 goals)<
<br clear="none" />a shape="rect">Argentina</a>(25 goals)<
<br clear="none" />a shape="rect">Germany</a>(22 goals)<
<br clear="none" />a shape="rect">USA</a>(15 goals)<
.......
</p>br clear="none" />
The desire transformation outcome would to produce the following XML document:
<team>Brasil (30 goals)<team>
<team>Argentina (25 goals)<team>
<team>Germany (22 goals)<team>
<team>USA (15 goals)<team>
......

The following stylesheets achieve either of the text() but not both:

<-- Only get the teams but not goals ----->
<xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each select="ns:a/text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<  -- Get all teams and goals for all nodes on the same line continuously. Similar to printf statement -->
<xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each select="ns:a/text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:value-of select="../../normalize-space()"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<  --- Only get the goals but not teams --->
<xsl:template match="ns:p[ns:strong='World Cup Team:']">
<xsl:for-each select="text()[normalize-space() != '']">
<team><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/></team>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

I am using JDOM and Saxon 9.1 to carry out the transformation on Windows XP.
