Re: [xsl] using identity transform to change <p /> into <p>text</p>

[Robert Koberg <rob at koberg dot com>]

could you do something like:

<xsl:template match="p">

<p>

<xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test=".=''">
      <xsl:text>the text</xsl:text>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

</p>

best,
-Rob
