Hi Rick,

Martin's and Syd's approaches using detailed template matches are preferable, but let me just point out what you were missing.

Let me paraphrase the expression slightly:

title/descendant-or-self::* except ./data

where . is the section element that the template matches.

But section has no data children.

You could phrase it differently, yet slightly inefficiently:

title/descendant-or-self::* except title/descendant::data

or use a predicate:

title/descendant-or-self::*[not(self::data)]

But still you'd get duplicate strings: The string value of title, plus the string value of the contained ph element.

So this won't lead to anything useful, and I, too, recommend an idiomatic template matching approach.

Gerrit
