Could anyone tell me how I can calculate the length of a string containing inline elements? No, it should not return 45 because that is not the number of characters in the string value of the <text> element (assuming your current node is that element). but it returns less than that. I make it 27 by eye. My assumption is that the embedded tags are being treated as proper nodes rather than literal text. Yes, because the syntax used to represent a node is not in the XPath data model and therefore is not available to the XSLT processor. Any idea how I can make sure that each character of the embedded tags counts as a character when calculating the length of the overall string? By not using XSLT. E.g. <SUP> would count as 5 characters In XSLT there is no difference in the data model between an element represented by: <SUP> or by: <SUP > ... which have a very different number of characters. You'll have to use something that represents the syntax of XML markup in the data model. I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . . .
