I'm trying to figure out how I can clean up my bad source XML via XSLT (1.0) rather than directly modifying the source (not especially practical under the circumstances). Here's my abbreviated source: <refer> <refdata>1. text text text.</refdata> <refdata>2. text text text <extref extdoc="web" extloc="www.google.com">www.google.com</extref> text text</refdata> </refer> I'm transforming this to xhtml and will be using an ordered list, which means the "1. " and "2. " become extraneous, so I want to drop them. This is easily done in the first <refdata> entry with something like substring-after="refdata,'. '" I've recently discovered the second entry appears about .1% of the time and need to apply-templates to the <extref> as well. I tried setting xsl:variable with the output of xsl:apply-templates and then using xsl:copy-of, but using substring-after retrieves just the text node and omitting that retains the extra numbering. See below the snippet of both, assume I've already selected the <refer> node: ...[SNIP]... <xsl:for-each select="refdata"> <xsl:variable name="TEMP"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:variable> <xsl:copy-of select="substring-after(xsl:copy-of select="$TEMP",'. ')"/> <xsl:copy-of select="$TEMP"/> </xsl:for-each> ...[SNIP]... _____________ Jonathan Schmidt (j.schmidt@xxxxxxxxxxxx) Senior Internet Developer, Elsevier 314-453-4170
