Hi,

Just an idea, I do not know if that helps, but... you can translate the [] in <> and after this you should have well formed XML and process it as you like with another stylesheet:

<text>
<value>Text may contain <b>bold text</b>, <i>italics</i> or both
<b><i>bold and italics</i></b>.</value>
</text>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="text"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:text><processedValue></xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="translate(text/value, '[]', '<>')"/> <xsl:text></processedValue></xsl:text> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>

<processedValue>Text may contain bold text, italics or both bold and italics.</processedValue>


Best Regards,
 George

I was reading through this, gave me some ideas.

Except that it does not handle nested "markup" like my input (below).
XML (input):
<text>
 <value>Text may contain [b]bold text[/b], [i]italics[/i] or both
[b][i]bold and italics[/i][/b].</value>
</text>
