aha !
use the translate() function to remove these characters
and XSLT 1.0 is very concrete so buy a book ! ( anything by Michael Kay or
Jeni Tennison recc )

Subject: Re: [xsl] How do I capture the text "around" a node?
Hi,
Text handling like this is always (imho) a little confusing. The simple
answer is to use xsl:apply-templates as this will hit all the child
text() nodes, not just the first(ala value-of).
It is very confusing.
While apply-templates works as you said, the problem i have is that I
want to remove the chars (), hence I tried value-of
As a good-practice rule, you should always use apply-templates over
value-of (where possible) for a number of reasons, with the biggest
probably being that template match=text() gets called.
I'm very new to this and have been struggling through basically
finding what resources I can on the net.
I'm reluctant to purchase a book as a reference as I understand that
somethings are not set in concrete yet.
With the cost of books these days I find it hard to justify purchasing
them only to find that it hasn't answered my questions.
Regards,
Pete.
