RE: [xsl] [Fwd: Text from mixed content but not all embedded elements]

Use the standard XSLT coding pattern: for each element, write a template
rule that recurses downwards to process its children. Except when you don't
want to process the children:

<xsl:template match="secTitle">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="endNote"/>

In fact, the only rule you need explicitly is the one for endNote; for all
the other nodes, the default built-in template rule does the right thing.

Subject: [xsl] [Fwd: Text from mixed content but not all 
embedded elements]

I have a situation with an XML portion like the following:

<secTitle>Complements of <langData lang="lVernacular">le'e</langData>
and other arguments<endnote id="nhabby">
      <p>We wish to thank those who helped us.</p> </endnote> 
</secTitle>


Using XSLT 1.0, I want to output the text of all but what is in the 
embedded <endnote> element.  That is, the text output I want is

    Complements of le'e and other arguments

I know that if I use <xsl:copy-of select="text()"/> I can get 
all of the 
text nodes, but I want to limit it to all but what is within the 
<endnote> element.

Is there a way to do this in XSLT 1.0?

Thanks,

--Andy
