Hi David,
I guess I have caused more confusion by showing my code!
All I want to do is output any tags inside the "doc" as they are, and replace
newlines with <br
/>
So input is :
<doc>
This is a <b>Test</b>
Message.
</doc>
----------------
Output should be :
This is a <b>Test</b><br />
Message.
----------------
I understand now that in my code when I pass the "doc" node to my function, it
doesn't even see
the <b> tags.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Anupam.

what are you passing as the input to this function?
your parameter is called docnode, but you can not be passing teh
document node as it is typed as element()* and document nodes are
necessarily not elements.
If $docnode is empty, you return nothing, and if it is non empty
you pass it to xsl:analyze-string whic as it's name implies expects a
string as its select expression not a sequence of elements.
So if you have nore than one element in $docnode you will get an error
and if there is just one element in $docnode you will analyze teh string
value of that element (ie just take all the character data, ignoring any
elements).
Note that XSLT has _no_ access to the tags in an input document, they
are all resolved by an XML parser before XSLT starts.
I suspect you want to start with an identity transform then add a
template
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="\n">
<xsl:matching-substring><br /></xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:non-matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
</xsl:non-matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
</xsl:template>
