Re: manipulating text and not losing elements

then it's easy to see that this is just a match pattern:

<xsl:template match="text()[preceding-sibling::node()
                             [1]
                             [self::indent1 or self::paragraph]
                            ]
                           
[starts-with(translate(.,'123456789','000000000'),'0')]">
 <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(.,' ')"/>
</xsl:template>

Ohhhhhhhhh.  Nice.  I tend to avoid match patterns like this probably
just out of habit but it's better advice then mine was.  Only one
question: shouldn't it be the ancestor axis and not preceding-sibing
or am I misreading the predicates?

ie something like
text()[ancestor::node()[1][self::indent1 or self::paragraph]

since the text node will be contained by the indent or the paragraph?
