I have html code that looks like this;
<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?
In 2.0, assuming <font> is the context node, I think the most direct
translation of your requirement is
.//text()[. >> current()/br[1] and . << current()/a[last()]]
Note that this gives you a sequence of text nodes, if you want to turn this
into a string, use string-join(). Remember to escape < with <
But I do wonder how general-purpose this is; are there lots of instances
like this, and do they vary much?
