Text nodes are part of XML... XSLT can handle processing the contents of those text nodes. However, it’s not always the best tool for doing that. I would probably write something in your language-of-choice that takes in an XML tree and writes it out identically, except for upgrading the free-text markup. There are converters out there to do it... the Freebase BFG project used one written by one of the original Wikipedia markup designers... see <URL: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/User:Magnus_Manske >. This has gotten off-topic for FOP. If you decide to do this in XSLT, see <URL: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/ >. Otherwise, see the discussion fora for whatever other programming language you’re using. ~Chris -- Chris Maden, text nerd <URL: http://crism.maden.org/ > “Before I built a wall I’d ask to know / What I was walling in or out, / And to whom I was like to give offence.” — RF, Mending Wall GnuPG Fingerprint: C6E4 E2A9 C9F8 71AC 9724 CAA3 19F8 6677 0077 C319 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
