I think this is a pretty basic question?
I?ve got a document of the following form (transforming to html). I need
any mention of the state name (e.g. ?California?) to be inserted where the
[statename/] element is. I don?t know how to write the XSLT transformation
for this to work. I put below my first stab at the XSLT code, but I know
it?s incomplete.
I think the part I?m having difficulty with relates to the fact that
[statename/] appears ? possibly multiple times ? within the body text of an
element. I don?t think I?ve ever had to code for a situation like this.
Thanks!

[para]The laws in [statename/] are favorable to defendants. If you

And XSLT of the form:
[xsl:template match=?/doc?]
[html]
[xsl:apply-templates/]
[/html]
[/xsl:template]
[xsl:template match=?body?]
[body]
[xsl:apply-templates/]
[/body]
[/xsl:template]
[xsl:template match=?para?]
[p][xsl:apply-templates/][/p]
[/xsl:template]
[xsl:template match=?statename?]
[xsl:value-of select=?$statename?/]
[/xsl:template]
