hi, I use saxon 8.7 when I do this <xsl:value-of
select="."/> on a node that contains comments. The returned
string does not contain comments content. This is not correct in xslt. Is this a bug or
am I wrong? best regards Jawad

I do this <xsl:value-of select="."/> on a node that
contains comments. I assume by "node" you mean
"element", for example <e>The <!--fat-->
cat sat on the mat</e> The string value of an element node (and its typed
value, for that matter) is obtained by concatenating the content of its text node
descendants. Attributes, comments, and processing instructions do not contribute to the
string value. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
