Jon, you're welcome FWIW, but in XSL's defense it *is* useful for a variety
of declarative transforms that would be much, much harder to do in
imperative fashion. People more experienced than I may comment on this and,
perhaps, provide an XSL solution where I could not, offhand.
However, I have a question: your original post had this input: <p> <strong> strong:text(top) <br/>prefix <span style="a style"> span a <span style="rgb();"> span b<br/> text </span> text </span> strong:text(btm) <br/>suffix<br/> </strong> Root level text with<br/> tag. </p> To be transformed to this output: <p> <strong> strong:text(top) </strong> <br/> <strong> prefix <span style="a style"> span a <span style="rgb();"> span b </span> </span> </strong> <br/> <strong> <span> <span> text </span> text </span> strong:text(btm) </strong> <br/> <strong> suffix </strong> <br/> <strong> </strong> Root level text with <br/> tag. </p> My question is, how did you derive the <strong> </strong> near the end? If going through this mentally I would expect to close </strong> after the penultimate <br/>, and then not open-close a <strong> because it's not readily apparent that it's needed. Except, of course, if you were creating the output (above) in lexical fashion -- closing opening tags and opening closing tags. (In which case you were already at the procedural solution, of course).
