Hi David
sorry the ** is actually the master tag - i just used ** cause i have to
keep certain things confidential (hope you understand).
I have also noticed the hex - I use oxygen and it seems to put in this hex
in the strangest of places. It should read ...extract unavailable.
I really should of checked through what i was posting!
Could you explain more about the recursive template that splits on . Will
this remove all text after the first . I really only want to strip after
the last as there can be several full stops i each extract.
Hope this makes more sense.
Thanks,
James

<xsl:for-each select="//**">
<xsl:apply-templates select="article"/>
That's a syntax error, as an Xpath expression can't end with ** (The
second * is a multiplication operator, and needs a second operand.
You could have
<xsl:for-each select="//*">
<xsl:apply-templates select="article"/>
But that would mean search the entire document and find every element,
and for each elelemt, apply templates to that elements article children.
I doubt you really want that. You didn't show enough of your input
document for me to suggest what you do want here.
also you have
$extract!='?extract u
The byte before extract is hex 85, which encoding are you using for your
stylesheet?
To remove the space after the last . If you are using xslt2 then you can
apply a simple regex, something like replace(extract,'\.[^\.*]','.')
otherwise in xslt1 you need either an extension function to do teh same,
or a recursive template that splits on . and discards the last section.
(assuming you don't have any elements in the extract element that you
need to preserve)
