Hi there

I'm not a programmer, but need some help to find a way of displaying text in the CDATA section of an XML file using XSL. Or if there is an alternative to using XSL then I'm all ears (eyes?). Take, for example, the following line of my XML file:

I ONLY want to display the text between the 'p' tags, i.e. "Select the option you think is correct." The formatting 'span' tag can be included if necessary, just as long as the 'p' tags are not displayed.

Is this possible?

I can post more/all of the XML code if required.

Thanks a lot
Niall

The ting is the text that is in the CDATA element is just that, text. It might look like XML to you, but it doesn't to the XML processor (whether that is an XSLT one or not).

So you basically need some way of to load the text and process it again. You can't do this with standard XSLT.

Depending on what XSLT processor you are using it may have extension method you could call which you pass in the text and return a new node (assuming the text is a valid XML fragment) or the ability to write extension methods in another programming language (Java, C# etc).
