text() and not()

 text() and not()
Hi all,

I have a problem with the default template, text() and an element within
another element.

<title>
  Renew LP Piston Seal (Fig 5.5.1
  <xref xrefid="F5.5.1" xidtype="FIGURE">
    )
  </xref>
</title>

I want this to output as:

Renew LP Piston Seal (Fig 5.5.1 xref )

where 'xref' will be replaced by a graphic.

I am overriding the default template using

<xsl:template match=text()/>

because there are several hundred elements that arent for display.  However,
matching <xref> with a separate template and overriding the default template
in this way means 'xref' is moved outside the (fig).  I have been told to
override the default template with a predicate to not include <title> and
use the default template to output the contents of <title>.

I have two points:

1.  //*[not(name()='title')] matches all elements apart from the text in
<title>

    //text()[not(name()='title')] matches all text, including that in
<title>

What xpath do I need to use to stop all text except that in <title>?

2.  If I use the default template to output the contents of <title>, how do
I obtain the same sort of result as:

<xsl:template match="para0/title">
  <p class="title"><xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
</xsl:template>


Something like:

<p class="title">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="titleTemplate"/>
</p>
<xsl:apply-templates/>

(...and change match to name)


Thanks

Andrew.

(btw, I have been using xpath visualiser, is anyone interested in
implementing a 'reverse visualiser' or similar.  Im sure I found one on the
web long ago that was a bit limited.  A product like that has to be a
winner, right? :)
