Hi,

Is there a way to strip specific html tag using xslt and still keep html content?

I.E. <p><a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></p>

to

<p>Google</p>

   I would try something like this. This is some code used to remove all HTML tags that I modified to remove only the tag specified in the parameter from the html passed into it. This is untested but should at least get you started. You will need to call this twice, once passing "a" as the tag and again with "/a" as the tag to remove the start and end tags so there may be a better way to do this in one call to the template.

     <xsl:template name="removeTag">
         <xsl:param name="html"/>
         <xsl:param name="tag"/>
         <xsl:choose>
             <xsl:when test="contains($html, concat('&lt;',$tag))">
                 <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($html, concat('&lt;',$tag))"/>
                 <xsl:call-template name="removeTag">
                     <xsl:with-param name="html" select="substring-after($html, '&gt;')"/>
                 </xsl:call-template>
             </xsl:when>
             <xsl:otherwise>
                 <xsl:value-of select="$html"/>
             </xsl:otherwise>
         </xsl:choose>
     </xsl:template>
   

   Hope that helps get you on the path.
   Kris

   Thanks Kris for the reply. It's definitely a good start.

   Also using xsl:value-of removes all tags.

   I have to modify value-of to copy-of to preserve the html.

   I'll keep chugging along. I just need to remove <a> tag.
