embedded xml tags
Hi:

I am currently converting documents at the Institute where I work into XML
format. We are using standard simplified DocBook XML tags and PHP/Sablotron to
do transformations. The XSLT stylesheets I am using have worked fine until the
following problem arose:

I have <emphasis> tags embedded in <para> tags like this:

<para>Some text here <emphasis>emphasised words</emphasis> and more text here</para>

I am using the following templates to handle this:

<xsl:template match="para">
  <p>
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="emphasis"/>
  </p>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="emphasis">
  <span>
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </span>
</xsl:template>

The output I'm getting is like this:

<p>Some text here and more text here</p><span>emphasised words</span>
 
The <para> elements are processed, then the <emphasis> elements are processed.

What I am trying to achieve is this:

<p>Some text here <span>emphasised words</span> and more text here</p>

So, my question is, how can I apply the 'emphasis' template in an 'inline'
manner to elements 'embedded' inside other elements?

Hope this is clear.

TIA

Mick
