Although you didn't show us what you are doing, I suspect you are probably doing a xsl:value-of within a template - whereas you should be doing an xsl:apply-templates to handle the embedded elements.

The value-of will return the concatentated values of all descendent text nodes. The apply-templates will continue applying templates to all child nodes. Hence if you have a template matching on "bold" e.g.

<xsl:template match="bold">  <b><xsl:apply-templates /></b>  </xsl:template>

It would be triggered and give you what you want. Similarly for italic, anchors, etc. Note that I did an apply-templates here to allow bolded text to recursively contain italic and/or anchors.

Hi,

I'm fairly new to XSLT so please be nice! :)

I have created an XSLT style sheet that does everything I need it to
except for handling embedded text. The XML documents I am transforming
contain the usual italic, bold, superscript, plus hyper links that
need converting into html.

Of course I need them to retain there place in the copy of course.
I've searched online and inside books but can't find a solution to
this problem.

Please help!

Cheers

Craig
