Copy parent node and not its children

bonekrusher · August 29th, 2007, 07:04 AM

Hi,

I am trying to do an XML to XMl conversion and having some trouble. I want to copy the value of a node but not its childrens value.

here is the input XML:

Code:

<addremark oprocedure="1">
                <Para id="d210e105"> May be inoperative provided:<RemarksList id="d210e110">
                        <Para id="d210e112">Operational Procedures below are followed,  and</Para>
                        <Para id="d210e118">
                            <RED id="d210e120">Repairs are made within two flight days. </RED>
                        </Para>
                    </RemarksList>
                </Para>
            </addremark>

here is my XSLT:

Code:

<xsl:for-each select="additem/Para[position()=1]">
        <para>
            <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </para>
</xsl:for-each>

I want the desired output to be:

<para> May be inoperative provided:</para>

but I get all the children values.

Thanks

The following should work:

Code:

<xsl:value-of select="text()"/>

Works fine here. The whole stylesheet:

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="addremark/Para[position()=1]">    
        <para>
            <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
        </para>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
