Re: Select everything up to and including the first <

Hi,

Or there is the XSLT Way, namely modes

<xsl:template match="section"/>

<xsl:template match="body">
  <intro>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </intro>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="section" mode="now-sections"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template mode="now-sections" ... etc

In other words, don't select them at all. Match them instead.

Cheers, Wendell
