Hi David

Many thanks. I agree, there is a lot of 'sub-stringing' going on.

I think I understand the code (I'll have a good look through this evening),
but can you please explain why you are using the union operator in the below
template?
 
> <xsl:template match="wrapper|wrapper/*"> <xsl:copy>  
> <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>
> 

Thanks again.
