My XML file has some HTML tags in it, such as <div>...</div>. In my transform stylesheet, I'd like to be able to replace these. For example, replace the div's with <p>..</p>.

Can someone give me some pointers on how I do this?

Cheers.
 
Ben said:
won't that put them all in ONE <p> ?

<xsl:for-each select="//div">
<p><xsl:value-of select="text()" /></p>
</xsl:for-each>

should do the trick.

But then again that will go through all the divs in turn and just put then in in p's in the order they are ignoring what's inbetween.
So I would think:

<xsl:template match="div">
<p><xsl:value-of select="text()" /></p>
</xsl:template>

would do it. (not too sure, I'm more used to using XSLT to pull data from one XML file into another format).
Click to expand...

That would wrap the content in one <p>...</p>. The content actually contains numerous divs, which I basically need to replace. I'll give your suggestion a go.

Cheers.
 
So would I but it's not my XML file unfortunately.

I tried to get this working last night but because I tried to nest the template code inside an xsl:if statement, it didn't like that. I'm new to this XSLT lark so I'm still fumbling around in the dark with some things.

For example, say my file.xml contains

Code: 
         <xsl:if test="programDuration != ''">
           <p>
             <xsl:copy-of select="programDuration/*" />
           </p>
         </xsl:if>

and the node programDuration contains the following;

<div>HNC - One Year Full-Time</div><div>HND - Two Years Full-Time</div>

How do I code the bit of my transform above to replace the divs in the programDuraiton node with <p> (and </p>) tags? Can I use the apply-template funciton to create another template in my XSLT and then use call-template in my main template to do this?
 
I don't get any processing errors, but the node in question isn't being output either :(

Here's a sample of the (large) XML file.

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?mso-infoPathSolution PIVersion="1.0.0.0" href="courseprospectus.xsn" name="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:Course-Prospectus:" language="en-us" productVersion="11.0.6565" solutionVersion="1.0.0.76" ?>
<?mso-application progid="InfoPath.Document"?>

  <orgUnitRoot>
    <orgUnitName>My Work</orgUnitName>
    <orgUnit>
      <orgUnitID>02</orgUnitID>
      <orgUnitName>Some Place</orgUnitName>
      <orgUnitAcronym></orgUnitAcronym>
      <program language="EN-GB">
        <programID>CODE5.109</programID>
        <programName>Accounting, HNC/D</programName>
        <programCode></programCode>
        <programDescription>
          <!-- REMOVED TEXT -->
        </programDescription>
        <qualification>
          <qualificationName></qualificationName>
          <qualificationDescription></qualificationDescription>
          <profession>
            <!-- REMOVED TEXT -->
          </profession>
          <studyQualification>
            <!-- REMOVED TEXT -->
          </studyQualification>
        </qualification>
        <level>Level 7/8</level>
        <learningObjectives>
          <!-- REMOVED TEXT -->
        </learningObjectives>
        <formalPrerequisites>
          <!-- REMOVED TEXT -->
        </formalPrerequisites>
        <teachingPlace><!-- REMOVED TEXT --></teachingPlace>
        <targetGroup></targetGroup>
        <programDuration>
          <span xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
            <div>HNC - One Year Full-Time, Two Years Part-Time. HND - Two Years Full-Time, Four Years Part Time. </div>
          </span>
        </programDuration>
        <expenses></expenses>
      </program>
    </orgUnit>
  </orgUnitRoot>

And here's my current XSLT:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions" xmlns:xdt="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-datatypes" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
  <xsl:param name="instituteCode" />
  <xsl:param name="courseCode" />
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="CDM/orgUnitRoot/orgUnit/program[programID = $courseCode]">
      <div id="column1">
        <h2>
          <xsl:value-of select="programName" />
        </h2>
        <p>
          <xsl:copy-of select="programDescription/*" />
        </p>
      </div>
      <div id="column2">
        <xsl:if test="learningObjectives != ''">
          <h3>What You Will Study</h3>
          <xsl:copy-of select="learningObjectives/*" />
        </xsl:if>
        <xsl:if test="formalPrerequisites != ''">
          <h3>Entry Requirements</h3>
          <xsl:copy-of select="formalPrerequisites/*" />
        </xsl:if>
        <xsl:if test="qualification/profession != ''">
          <h3>Career Opportunities</h3>
          <xsl:copy-of select="qualification/profession/*" />
        </xsl:if>
      </div>
       <div id="leftPanel">
         <xsl:if test="(level != '') and (level !='SCQF Level #')">
           <p>
          <strong>
            <xsl:value-of select="level" />
          </strong>
        </p>
         </xsl:if>
         <xsl:if test="programDuration != ''">
           <p>
             <xsl:copy-of select="programDuration/*" />  <!-- THIS IS THE PART CAUSING TROUBLE. THE NODE programDuration's CONTENT CONTAINS DIVs WHICH I WANT TO REPLACE WITH PARAGRAPHS -->
           </p>
         </xsl:if>
         <xsl:if test="teachingPlace != ''">
           <p>
             <strong>Location:</strong>
             <xsl:copy-of select="teachingPlace" />
           </p>
         </xsl:if>
         <p>
           <a href="/student/admissions/application/form.pdf" target="_blank">Download an application form</a>
         </p>

           </a>
         </p>
       </div>
     </xsl:for-each>
   </xsl:template>
 </xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
