I call it "stringized template matching" (where you can apply template rules for ordinary strings from substring-before() etc.), to prevent complex recursive call-template calls. It is very easy to implement and it is applicable to almost all replace-string situations. There's one drawback: it only works with the extension function fn:node-set(). However, there are only few processors that have not implemented it for XSLT 1. But there's also a big advantage: it becomes tremendously easier to read. I know, I know, it was not your problem: you already have your replace-string function in place (replacing newlines with <br>). But, if I am right about your question (confirm, please), you can solve it very simply by using the following solution (creates your requested output). I took the liberty to add an additional rule for removing whitespace-only nodes. Not sure you want that. It is easy enough to add matches for replacing double quotes, too. If it gets more complex, I advice to use modes for the more generic matches, so as to not make it too complex. Happy coding! Cheers, -- Abel Braaksma http://www.nuntia.nl On the following XML:
<elem id="11" date="10 Jan 2007" time="16:55">

<p>without newline</p>
<PRE> (Start of pre tag)
