Hi Xah, actually I have to correct myself. HTML is not XML. If it were, you could use a stylesheet like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="p[@class='cpt']"> <figcaption> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </figcaption> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="div[@class='img']"> <figure> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </figure> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> which applied to this document: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <doc> <h1>Just having fun</h1>with all the <div class="img"> <img src="cat1.jpg" alt="my cat" width="200" height="200"/> <img src="cat2.jpg" alt="my cat" width="200" height="200"/> <p class="cpt">my 2 cats</p> </div> cats here: <h1>Just fooling around</h1> <div class="img"> <img src="jamie_cat.jpg" alt="jamie's cat" width="167" height="106"/ > <p class="cpt">jamie's cat! Her blog is <a href="http://example.com/ jamie/">http://example.com/jamie/</a></p> </div> </doc> would yield: <?xml version="1.0"?> <doc> <h1>Just having fun</h1>with all the <figure class="img"> <img src="cat1.jpg" alt="my cat" width="200" height="200"/> <img src="cat2.jpg" alt="my cat" width="200" height="200"/> <figcaption>my 2 cats</figcaption> </figure> cats here: <h1>Just fooling around</h1> <figure class="img"> <img src="jamie_cat.jpg" alt="jamie's cat" width="167" height="106"/ > <figcaption>jamie's cat! Her blog is http://example.com/jamie/</figcaption> </figure> </doc> But well, as you don't have XML as input ... there really was no point to my remark.
