I am having a lot of trouble transforming XML blockquotes that are
structurally and grammatically correct (i.e, as child elements to a parent
paragraph tag) into XHTML that will be displayed correctly by a browser.
Because of two separate IE6 bugs that prevent a blockquote from being
structured as the child of a paragraph, I pretty much need the XSL output to
be
<p>Yadda yadda yadda:</p> <blockquote><p>blah blah blah</p></blockquote> <p class="cont">yackity yack</p> However, the XML is structured like this: <p>Yadda yadda yadda: <blockquote>blah blah blah</blockquote> yackity yack</p> So, my first thought was to make a conditional statement that would do this but I am having a lot of trouble constructing it. I can not locate any information on a conditional statement that would test whether one element (p) with mixed conternt contained another element (blockquote). I also am having trouble with a way to split up the p tag's text into the pre-blockquote and post-blockquote strings. Even with the above problems, I haven't even touched on the problems that a paragraph with multiple blockquotes would cause. Lastly, I realized that this all seems way too complicated just to correctly display a blockquote, so I am secretly hoping that I am way off base and that there is a simplier solution to this problem. What other ways of handling blockquotes have been used elsewhere? Thanks for any help you can offer, Edward
