Hi Seema, Try to avoid using element names that are also keywords in XSLT/XPath. In your case, you most probably wanted to match text nodes -- text() -- and not elements named "text". Here's the template that does what you wanted -- after the correction: xml source: ---------- <xml> <text> This is a sample . <br/> For testing </text> </xml> Stylesheet: ---------- <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" /> <xsl:template match="text()"> <xsl:value-of select="." /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="br"> <br /> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Result: ------ This is a sample . <br /> For testing If you really wanted to match "text" element nodes, then you should use <xsl:copy-of select="node()"/> instead of xsl:value-of. Then the template matching "br" becomes unnecessary and will best be removed. Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
