Hi Martin, I usually use <xsl:value-of select="."> to output a tag's content, what' s the different between<xsl:value-of select="."> and<xsl:apply-templates />?

So with your original markup and <xsl:template match="summary"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:template> you get a text node with the text "this year we earn 5,000 dollars,...." while with my suggestion <xsl:template match="summary"> <p><xsl:apply-templates/></p> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="benefit"> <span style="color: green;"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </span> </xsl:template> you get <p>this year we earn <span style="color: green;">5,000</span> dollars,....</p> a 'p' element with three child nodes, a text node, a 'span' element with the style you want and a text node. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/
