Wow. Kind of rare when I check this list and find an unanswered question
:-)
<td><font><b>Title</b><br/>Some Text<i> and some more italic text</i><b>
maybe even some more</b><a href="http://whatever.com";>And an
anchor</a></font></td>
I want to extract only the text between the first <br/> tag and the last
<a> anchor tag, without the anchor's text but including all text in child
elements such as the <i> and <b> - "Some Text and some more italic text
maybe even some more"
How can I do it with xsl?
There are a couple ways you can do this -- the best way will depend on how
your HTML will vary, or will it always be like your example. I would just
use a template rule as follows:
<xsl:template match="a | b[position() = 1]"/>
A stylesheet with only the above template rule in it will output the
following:
_____________
Some Text and some more italic text
maybe even some more
_____________
i.e. by default the text will be copied to the output, so I only specified
those elements where you did *not* want the text copied to the output to "do
nothing". In this case, any a element, and only the first b element, will
not get their text copied to the output....
Hope that helps,
