Youd would have one template that picks up "element", as in
<xsl:template match="element">
<fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
and then if you supply another for "greek" it will get picked up as
necessary:
<xsl:template match="greek">
<fo:character character="{.}"/>
</xsl:template>

Hi Arved,
Thanks for the reply.

OK. Good. But you wouldn't believe how stoopid I am. I don't even know the
xsl to turn
<element>Non equidem insector delendave carmina Livi esse reor, memini quae
plagosum mihi parvo Orbilium dictare; <greek>S</greek>sed emendata videri
pulchraque et exactis minimum distantia miror. Inter quae verbum emicuit si
forte decorum, et si versus paulo concinnior unus et alter, venditque
poema.</element>
into
<fo:block>Non equidem insector delendave carmina Livi esse reor, memini quae
plagosum mihi parvo Orbilium dictare; <fo:character character="S"
font-family="Symbol"/>sed emendata videri pulchraque et exactis minimum
distantia miror. Inter quae verbum emicuit si forte decorum, et si versus
paulo concinnior unus et alter, venditque poema.</element>
Do you happen to know what would be the xsl:fo to do that? There must be a
way but i can't think what it is. {:-(
let's see...
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="element"><xsl:apply-templates
select="greek"/></xsl:value-of></fo:block>
.. would that be it. But I don't think it would even parse. Can see where
I'm at with this? {:-(
Grateful for any further assistance.

Best,
