[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Exclusive formatting..
 James,
Your phantom values are coming from the builtin templates.
<page>
<news name="Test">
<author>Me</author>
<guts>
This is Line 1.
And this is Line 2.
</guts>
</news>
</page>
When you process the news element with this template
<xsl:template match="news">
<p></p><b>Subject:</b> <xsl:value-of select="@name"
/><br/>
<em>Author:</em> <xsl:value-of select="author" /><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="guts" />
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
It creates your required output but then you do an apply-templates and
the builtin templates process the author and guts elements outputting
their text. Change it to
<xsl:template match="news">
<p></p><b>Subject:</b> <xsl:value-of select="@name"
/><br/>
<em>Author:</em> <xsl:value-of select="author" /><br/>
<xsl:value-of select="guts" />
</xsl:template>
If you have no other elements you want to process or to
<xsl:template match="news">
<p></p><b>Subject:</b> <xsl:value-of select="@name" /><br/>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
And add
<xsl:template match="author">
<em>Author:</em> <xsl:value-of select="." /><br/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="guts">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
If there are other elements you want to process
