Re: [xsl] how to zap content between sibling elements?

["Helder da Rocha" <helder at argonavis dot com dot br>]

Jay,

To get rid of the text between <k>s you need a XPath expression like:

    following-sibling::k and not(preceding-sibling::k)

in the context of the <p> element for the text before, and another one,
reversed for the text after. The code below solves the problem you posted:

    <xsl:template match="p">
        <p><xsl:copy-of select="*[not(self::k)]" />
        <xsl:apply-templates select="child::text()[following-sibling::k and
not(preceding-sibling::k)]" />
        <grp><xsl:apply-templates select="k" /></grp>
        <xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::text()" />
        <xsl:apply-templates select="child::text()[preceding-sibling::k and
not(following-sibling::k)]" /></p>
    </xsl:template>

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

Helder.
