Instead, you have to supply the b and i elements yourself. Exactly how may depend on just what else you want to do, but here's a stylesheet fragment that shows how you can do it. It depends on the built-in template - that handles all elements in the absence of other templates - to get all the text, and the stylesheet adds the p, b, and i elements where needed. <xsl:template match="/"> <body> <xsl:apply-templates/> </body> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match='paragraph'> <p><xsl:apply-templates/></p> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match='bold'> <b><xsl:apply-templates/></b> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match='italic'> <i><xsl:apply-templates/></i> </xsl:template> Cheers, Tom P XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
