You are right, I wasn't clear enough in my explaination, I have
followed up to Jeni's posting that hopefully is a bit more clearer.

That's right, but I want to remove two chars, that weren't included in
my example xml text. It's in the followup to Jeni's posting.
I have basically got around the problem by cheating a bit by writing
the text into the book node. But a friend of mine coudln't figure out
how to do it, and it has since been something I want to understand...
rather that just have a fairly basic understanding of the whole
process.
so for the last 3 hours I have been at it trying to work out how to
capture all the text and remove the 2 chars (). In the end I hit
google for a xsl mailing list as the qeuries I was using on google
weren't very good.. typically becuase I don't know the right
terminology to build the query.
Anyway, it's very late here now.. so I'm off to bed.
Thanks to everyone for responding so far.
Regards,
Pete.
