Re: [xsl] testing element's contents

[Nathan Shaw <n8_shaw at yahoo dot com>]

Excellent Joerg! The only place this would not work is
if I have a paragraph element with only a Link element
in it, such as:

<p><Link href="blah.html">This is a link</Link></p>

I need those to pass through the test and be wrapped
in a p tag. Otherwise, it catches everything else I
need!

Thank you! That gives me great direction...
