Re: getting text nodes of subtree?

Hello Jakub,

here is method that illustrates what you need to do

 <xsl:template match="/">

 <xsl:variable name="test" select="*"/>

 <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space($test)"/>

 </xsl:template>

there are so many ways of doing this;

- //text() will select all text nodes  for you in the entire tree
- how do you want to handle whitespace ? use normalize-space() and possibly
translate depending on what whitespace chars or present

goto www.dpawson.co.uk the XSLT FAQ for more info

good luck, jim fuller
