Hi Jim, Sounds like a text-replace is called for. A few questions:
- Do you have the opportunity to pre-process the goods via Java/sed/perl or something like that? That would be the easiest way to do a text replace before you even get to the XSLT processor. - You might need to tweak the XML encoding to be able to handle the ASCII form-feed character un-escaped. Depends on the parser you're using. - If your environment allows it you can also invoke XSLT extension functions to do the replacement. - Have you thought of trying the contains(), substring-before() and substring-after() functions recursively to try to locate and extract the text surrounding the form-feed character? It won't be pretty but if you *must* stay in XSLT, it's pretty much your only choice. Just some ideas...
