 Hi Lizet,
you can use a similar Xpath to check the following sibling axis for
checking the end condition and combining the two with "and":
<xsl:apply-templates select="html/body/node()[
preceding-sibling::text()[starts-with(normalize-space(.), 'References')]
and following-sibling::text()[starts-with(normalize-space(.), 'Description')]]"/>
Cheers,
Markus

Hi Markus,
It worked fine, thanks. Now I'm doing a similar thing but taking the text nodes between
a text node that starts with 'References' and the text node with 'Description', but it's
a similar template...
again thanks,
lizet
