Hi David;

This is where my inexperience in XSL is going to become very appartent.

I am trying to implement what you suggested in your last email (a template
matching "p"). The problem is a template is producing the output I am
working with.

The Transformer doesn't like to see a template within a template (below is
my template).

I was thinking about implementing a global find and replace function that
would take an input string, target and replacement as params. It would
recurse until all the targets in the string have been replaced. I would have
to do this seperately for <p>, <i>, <b> and <font>.

Is there an easier approach?

<xsl:template name="text_display_and_edit">
<xsl:param name="text_number" />
<xsl:param name="textname" select="concat('TEXT',$text_number)" />
<xsl:if test="DATA/VERSION/ITEM[(_at_)NAME=$textname] !=''" >
<xsl:value-of select="DATA/VERSION/ITEM[(_at_)NAME=$textname]" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Thanks,

Luke

  But I would still like a way to replace a <p> tag with a <fo:block>,
etc.
  Can this be done at the XSL level?


XSLT has no access to the tags in the document, they like entities, are
resolved by the XML parser before XSLT starts; but replacing a p element
by an fo:block one is surely the most basic XSLT operation (it is quite
literally) the main application for which XSLT is designed.

<xsl:template match="p"><!-- or h:p if input is in a namespace -->
 <fo:block>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

David
