How to capture text?

2005-08-17 22:30:30
Hi,
  I'm a beginner in XSLT, i want to transform this
piece of XML:

<text:p>
<text:user-field-get
text:name="aid">ArticleId</text:user-field-get>
<text:span>1423</text:span>
</text:p>
<text:p>
<text:span>
<text:user-field-get
text:name="aid">ArticleId</text:user-field-get>
</text:span>
<text:span>1423</text:span>
</text:p>
<text:p>
<text:span>
<text:user-field-get
text:name="aid">ArticleId</text:user-field-get>
</text:span>1423
</text:p>
<text:p>
<text:user-field-get
text:name="aid">ArticleId</text:user-field-get>1423
</text:p>

output:
<aid>1423</aid>
<aid>1423</aid>
<aid>1423</aid>
<aid>1423</aid>

if you noticed all the data are the same, what I'm
trying to do is to check all the possible scenario
that might happen in the XML. Sometimes
<text:user-field-get text:name="aid"> appears inside
the <text:span> sometimes not, and same with the text,
sometimes it appears inside the <text:span>, sometimes
not. So my XSLT should handle all those scenario.

with my XSLT,

    <xsl:template match="text:p">
        <xsl:apply-templates
select="text:span/text:user-field-get|text:user-field-get"/>
    </xsl:template>
    
    <xsl:template
match="text:span/text:user-field-get">
            <xsl:element name="{(_at_)text:name}">
                        <xsl:apply-templates
select="parent::text:span/following-sibling::*[1][self::text:span/text()]"/>
                        <xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::text()"/>
            </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>
    
    <xsl:template match="text:user-field-get">
        <xsl:element name="{(_at_)text:name}">
            <xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::text:span/text()"/>  
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>    

my output,

<aid>1423</aid>
<aid>1423</aid>
<aid></aid>
<aid></aid>

I can't handle the text that are not inside the
<text:span>

Please help.

regards.
