I looked at various XSL guides, but I still can't figure out how to
transform this:

<document>
<paragraph>Here is a <bold>bold</bold> word.</paragraph>
<paragraph>Here is an <italic>italic</italic> word.</paragraph>
</document>

into this:

<body>
<p>Here is a <b>bold</b> word.</p>
<p>Here is an <i>italic</i> word.</p>
</document>

The part I have trouble with is the <bold> and <italic>. The thing is
that they could appear anywhere in the document; they're not part of a
rigid structure. It seems that when I use <xsl:value-of
select="paragraph">, the <bold> and <italic> tags inside just get
stripped out.

Any suggestions?
Don't use value-of if you want a value to be transformed also, use <xsl:apply-templates/> instead.
That's a very simple transformation, you probably need to read some good book about xslt.


<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="document">
<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>
</xsl:stylesheet>
