Vidar,
As you have changed significantly my code and the context it is used in, I
cannot answer questions about the behaviour of the new code.
I am happy that I was able to help you, but please, ask questions that only
concern the code I posted.
If your question:
Dimitre, are you sure that these lines in your reply
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select=".."/>
</xsl:otherwise>
shouldn't be
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:otherwise>
is about the code that I posted, the answer is that
it must be:
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select=".."/>
</xsl:otherwise>
because the current node is an attribute and we want to produce the string
value of the element, that has this attribute.

Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.

Yes, I am definitely, absolutely sure. In this case (and typically) I do
not post untested and not working code.
What problem do you see with this code?
Didn't you run the transformation to see that it produces the wanted
result?
Yes, I did, and without changing your code I get an error when trying to
parse the results of the transformation into a JDOM tree. However,
changing to <xsl:value-of select="."/> everything works as expected, and
I'm happy as a lark.
Right now, my mind is too blurry to see why that happens.
But perhaps I was not clear about the context in which the templates are
used. Below is the entire code:
<xsl:template match="IPS:TEXT">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@*">
<xsl:call-template name="TEXT_ATTRIBUTE_TO_ELEMENT">
<xsl:with-param name="attList" select="@*"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Suggested by Dimitri Novatsjev

<xsl:template name="TEXT_ATTRIBUTE_TO_ELEMENT">
<xsl:param name="attList" select="/.."/>
<xsl:if test="$attList">
<xsl:variable name="elementname"><xsl:apply-templates
select="$attList[1]" mode="ELEMENTNAME"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="attributes">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$attList[1]"
mode="ATTRIBUTES"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:element name="{$elementname}">
<xsl:for-each select="$attributes/attr">
<xsl:attribute name="{(_at_)name}"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$attList[2]">
<xsl:call-template
name="TEXT_ATTRIBUTE_TO_ELEMENT">
<xsl:with-param name="attList"
select="$attList[position() > 1]"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<!-- Templates below are used to change IPS:TEXT attributes into
proper XHTML elements -->
<xsl:template match="IPS:TEXT/attribute::node()"
mode="ELEMENTNAME"><xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="IPS:TEXT/@URL"
mode="ELEMENTNAME">a</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="IPS:TEXT/@B"
mode="ELEMENTNAME">b</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="IPS:TEXT/@I"
mode="ELEMENTNAME">i</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="IPS:TEXT/@U"
mode="ELEMENTNAME">u</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="IPS:TEXT/@TARGET" mode="ELEMENTNAME"/> <!--
TARGET is not an element, but is handled by @URL -->
<xsl:template match="IPS:TEXT/attribute::node()" mode="ATTRIBUTES"/>
<!-- Most XHTML elements have no attributes -->
>
<xsl:template match="IPS:TEXT/@URL" mode="ATTRIBUTES">
<attr name="href"><xsl:value-of select="."/></attr>
<xsl:if test="../@TARGET">
<attr name="target"><xsl:value-of
select="../@TARGET"/></attr>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Sample XML fragment:
<IPS:TEXT B="1" I="1">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Lorem ipsum dolor sit
amet.</IPS:TEXT>
<IPS:TEXT URL="ps://237;393" TARGET="_blank">Lorem ipsum dolor sit
amet.</IPS:TEXT>
<IPS:TEXT B="1">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</IPS:TEXT>
This transforms very nicely into:
<b><i>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</i></b>
<a href="ps://237;393" target="_blank">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</a>
<b>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</b>
