I'm afraid I will display my ignorance here, but ... please point me at the
appropriate part of the docs if I missed it there.
1) ------------
If I have:
<a>a1
<b>name1
<c>foo1</c>
</b>
<b>name2
<c>foo2</c>
</b>
</a>
<a>a2
<b>name2
</b>
</a>
What stylesheet will let me see just the <a> elements with their text
appended with the first text node of the first <b>element (with <b> and <c>
elements totally hidden e.g. display: none).
i.e. display
a1: name1
a2: name2
2) ------------
How can I make this collapsed display appear only when the <a> elements are
"collapsed"?
Thanks!
