The template (using select="node()" and not select=".") <xsl:template match="seg"> <term> <xsl:value-of select="node()" /> That's a very strange construct to use, especially in xslt 1. node() selects all the children and then value-of discards all but the first, which means that if there are child elements as in your example you get just the first indentation white space if there is any, however if the first child had not been indented you would get the string value of the first element. <seg> <it></Title></it> <bpt i="1" type="struct"><Elt type='Groupbox' id='242' coor='0,0,412,112' style='50020007,0' class='#FF#0080'></bpt> </seg> produces <term> </term> but <seg><it></Title></it> <bpt i="1" type="struct"><Elt type='Groupbox' id='242' coor='0,0,412,112' style='50020007,0' class='#FF#0080'></bpt></seg> produces <term>></Title></term> If I understand your requirement it is to ignore any seg elements with element content, but to make a term element for those that have non white space text content. so just <xsl:apply-templates select="seg"/> with <xsl:template match="seg[*]"/> <xsl:template match="seg[not(normalize-space(.))]"/> <xsl:template match="seg"> <text><xsl:value-of select="."/></text> </xsl:template> David ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
