Re: Re: How to match a element + part of an immediate

You can match on the text nodes immediately either side of an em with

<xsl:template match="text()[following-sibling::node()[1][self::em]">
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()[preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::em]">
</xsl:template>


within those templates . will be the entire node, you will want to split
on spaaces into words using a recursive template (see the faq) or the
fxsl libraries, or using an extension function such as saxon::tokenize()

Actually you probbaly want those templates to be empty so that the text
goes, and then select those nodes again within teh template for em, so
that you can pull the words into the element.
