Hi,

    I have a xml file with the following format:
  <test>
    <p>TestMe</p>
    <p>[list]Testme1</ul></p>
    <p><ol>testme2</ol></p>
    <p>Testme3</p>
    <p>Testme4</p>
  </test>
  In my xslt:
      <xsl:for-each select "test/*">
       <xsl:apply-templates select"."/>
      </xsl:for-each>

I want to avoid p tag for ul and ol if it comes after paragraph(otherwise there will be lot of space between the paragraph and UL or OL Items). Can anybody help me how can i do that one?

Thanks,
pendyala

Firstly, this:

<xsl:for-each select "test/*">
<xsl:apply-templates select"."/>
</xsl:for-each>

is a rather longwinded way of saying

<xsl:apply-templates select"test/*"/>

Try this template rule:

<xsl:template match="p[ul|ol]">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</xsl:template>

This will remove the p element around any ul or ol, which I suspect is what you really want. However, if you prefer to do this only after another p element, you can:

<xsl:template match="p[ul|ol][preceding-sibling::*[1][self::p]]">
