Re:  match string






I have modified my template, because like you said I had lost the
markup in para[1]

1.
<xsl:template match="chapter/section[1]/para[1]/*[1]/text()[1]"
priority="1">

2.
<xsl:template match="para">

but now the output of the first paragraph looks like>
<p> <p> <b> Three words are </b> here </p> </p>

it is because I have a template for the first paragraphs first tag
text()
and a template for every paragraph, with matches para[1] too

how can I solve this problem?
