My apologies up front -- I know this issue has been discussed but my searches in the XSL archives haven't succeeded and, as someone else recently posted, I swallowed a dumb pill today. I'm struggling to extract only the text out of a paragraph which allows mixed content. There may be several levels of descendant elements. With a first para such as: <para>This is the beginning of <field>Field A</field> which you can use to start the process. </para> All I get in the output is: This is the beginning of Field A The template I'm using so far does find the first text children and the text inside the first element node, but it stops there. I'm obviously missing something fundamental and am hoping that someone can point out my errors. The template I'm using now is: <xsl:template match="para[1]"> <xsl:for-each select="descendant-or-self::*> <xsl:value-of select="text()"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> I'm using LotusXSL (0.18.2) as my XSL processor.
