But when parsing an XHTML <p> tag, it may
have text mish-mashed in and between <b> and <i>
and <span> tags...in no fixed order.
I will lose all the style stuff if I just do...
<xsl:template match="p">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
...as the <b>, <i> and <span> will go bye-bye with
all their text siphoned out from them, yes? I don't
want that, obviously.
Cool would be to split <p> into a sequence of <foo>
tags with the <b> and <i> as attributes for some,
not on others.
Can someone point me at a tutorial or how-to which
illustrates an XSLT-ish method for dealing sequentially
with a mixed bunch of text and tags?
First of all, XSLT deals not with "tags" but with nodes.
It is not clear exactly what you want -- probably you need to copy the
descendents of "p". Your problem is that using
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
copies not nodes but the string value of the current node.
To copy all nodes that are children of the current node use:
<xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
