Simple Problem

["Mark Swardstrom" <swards at hotmail dot com>]

This may be too simple for this group, but here goes...

I'm trying to make a generic XSL script that will take any XML input (I do 
not know the element names), such as

<root>
  <node>
    <item>data1</item>
    <item2>data2</item3>
  </node>
  <node2>
    <item>data3</item>
    <item2>data4</item3>
    <item3>
      <subItem>data5</subItem>
    </item3>
  </node2>
</root>

And create an HTML format where any element with data would return the 1) 
local-name, 2) value, and 3) be followed by HTML (in this case a single line 
separator).  Elements without a value (such as <node> here) would not output 
the local-name, but would output different HTML (a paragraph break).

Such as...
<p>
item: data1<br/>
item2: data2<br/>
</p>
<p>
item: data3<br/>
item2: data4<br/>
<p>
item3: data5<br/>
</p>
</p>

It could be any number of levels deep, but I can be sure that there are no 
elements with data AND children.

My problem -- I haven't been able to differentiate between nodes with data, 
and nodes without.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
