Sorry, I am still a little new to this and I had some trouble
understanding this response to my post.
your best bet is to remove all <p/>'s and then apply text() matching
template that wraps text with <p/>, along with a blockquote template
that just copies itself.
If I understand this correctly, the text between two block quotes
would be treated the same as a simple plain paragraph. I don't think,
however, this will work because I would lose the attributes of the xml
tagged paragraphs. My source xml contains paragraphs that contain a
number attribute, as well as other inline tagging for italics,
footnotes, etc.
For example:
<paragraph num="1">Yadda Yadda Yadda <italic>Italic Yadda</italic> Yadda:
<blockquote>Blah Blah Blah Blah</blockquote>
Yackity Yack Yack</paragraph>
ok apply the following to your above xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<!-- Transform -->
<xsl:variable name="result">
<xsl:apply-templates select="paragraph"/>
</xsl:variable>
<!-- Display Results -->
<xsl:copy-of select="$result"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:if test="normalize-space()">
<p><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/></p>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="paragraph">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="italic">
<i>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</i>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="blockquote">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
some assumptions;
xsl:output method could = xhtml
i matched your italic element and replaced with <i>...I used
xsl:value-of to select on the text..u may want to use xsl:copy-of to
select elements
