Thanks for your reply and help.
The extra </a> was left in by accident. I removed some code that didn't need
to be there in the <p> .
Forgive me for my improper terminology. I have now removed the CDATA and am
using xsl:copy-of.
But my problem is not rendering the Formated version, which comes out
perfect. My problem is in the text only XLS version.
This is my current code with extras taken out to save room.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:asp="remove">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="utf-8"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Page" xml:space="preserve">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Content"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Content" xml:space="preserve">
<xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="//*/img">
<xsl:for-each select="@*">
[image: <xsl:value-of select="." />]
<xsl:if test="((name()='alt') or (name()='ALT') or
(name()='Alt')) and (normalize-space(.)!='')">
[image: <xsl:value-of select="." />]
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

hello experts,
If i have some html in a xml field like below.
XML doesn't have "fields" -- they're for databases.
XML has elements.

href="/page.aspx?textonly">[Text Only]</a></div>
<div id="centerImg">
<img src="/pub/en-us/images/clear-path-soon.jpg" alt="the alt tag."

But that isn't HTML any more. Putting it in a CDATA section
means you want it treated as plain text. That's what CDATA
sections are for. What is wrong with (indents added for
illustration only):
<Content>
<br/>
<br/>
<center>
<div id="TextOnlyLink">
<a href="/page.aspx?textonly">[Text Only]</a>
</div>
<div id="centerImg">
<img src="/pub/en-us/images/clear-path-soon.jpg"
alt="the alt tag" width="712" height="223"/>
</div>
<p>blah blah blah*</p>
</center>
</Content>
* I've removed the spurious </a> which must be a corruption.
If you are being supplied with this by someone else, tell
them to generate well-formed XHTML otherwise it can't be
processed. They've taken the trouble to add the / at the
end of the <img/> element, so I'm not clear why they felt
it important to add a meaningless </a> and then deliberately prevent it
being used as XHTML.
my formated xsl is just this
<xsl:value-of select="//Content" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
With the above you can use the xsl:copy-of that David
suggests.
but my question is how do i take that contnet and be able to use it in a
way
with another "text only" xsl sheet that might make it output like this
<a href="/page.aspx">[Formated]</a>
[img: the alt tag]
<p>blah blah blah<p>
Tip: alt is not a tag, it's an attribute on the img element type.
Any ideas. Im sure im missing something somewhere. Should i get rid of the
CDATA and figure a way to output it as regular HTML in the formated
version?
Yes. If it's XHTML, then handle it as such.
