<Why can't I just match on the para one with match="para/text()"?>

You can -- assuming that you don't need to use the <p> as a container. Note that there is more than one text node inside your para element. If you attempt to place a <p> element in the template with match="para/text()" then you will create a <p> on every text node match.

Francis,
Instead of using the copy-of on the "para" element match use apply-templates and add another template that matches the para/text().
This should get you closer to the desired output.
<xsl:template match="para">
 <p>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="para/text()">
        <xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>

Hi Rick

That's exactly what I want. Now - why do I have to do it this way? Why can't I just match on the para one with match="para/text()"?
