Re: [xsl] Problem retaining HTML tags during XSL transformation

XSLT never handles "tags" only element nodes.
You are using string operations such as xsl:value-of, substring-before
etc, when you pass a node to a function that requires a string it takes
teh string value of teh node, that is, the character data of all the
descendants of the node, ignoring any element, attribute, markup.


Ypu haven't said what you are trying to do, but it appears to be to
replace a newline by a br element. in which case you want to apply that
operation to text nodes, matching text() not to the elem element node.
