<i>pie</i>amf. The quick brown <b>fox</b> jumps over a <i>lazy little
dog</i><para>
<xsl:apply-templates select="substring(.,2,string-length(.))"/> : @select
works in context of nodes only and not with string function.
.
If I use value-of it obviously returns me string value.
<xsl:value-of select="substring(.,2,string-length(.))"/>.
<para mypara="type_first"><dummy id="first_letter">A</dummy>bc efg ijk
pieamf. The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy little dog</para>: Missing
<i> and <b>.
Is there a way out.
Thanks,
Pankaj Chaturvedi
