If you want to get rid of all the child elements of the <p> element and retain their content, you can use this template. If you have some elements that you want to retain and eliminate only the <b> and <br> elements, we'll have to figure out something else.

<xsl:template match="p">
  <xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>

Subject:   remove <b> and <br>+merge nodes

hi,

how can i remove <br> and <b> tags from an html document so that resulting 
text nodes are merged into an unique one ?

for example :
<p>my <b>tailor</b> is <br> rich</p>

would become :
<p>my tailor is rich</p>

thanks for your good support,

Fabrice
