What's wrong with this xslt - nothing is being displayed ...

Please refer to this previous post for a history of this problem, which was resolved there:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26890969/How-to-strip-out-only-the-p-tags-that-I-want.html

I am now trying to apply the same solution to a different XML and XSL file. The only difference is in the name of the tags. Nothing is being output.

I've attached both the XML and the XSL.

The XSL should be displaying:
the image that is within the <TaxonomyItemTeaser> tag; and
the two paragraphs of text within the <TaxonomyItemTeaser> tag

but none of it is being displayed.

The only thing that is being displayed is "<TaxonomyItemTitle>" and "<TaxonomyItemQuickLink>"

High points because I'm under a deadline. I am trying to modify existing xsl; I have no control over the xml. I'm new at this.

Thanks.

If I apply this XSLT to the XML (after correction because '&' needs escaping)
This is what I get.
I am afraid that something happens after the XSLT,
or that you are not showing all of it

<h1 class="nps_costsavings">
   Category: HR &amp; Hiring

<p>
   <em>These are the cost savings programs in this category. If you don't see any programs listed here, it means there are none in
      this category that are available to you.

Thank you Gertrone.
I am indeed showing all of the xslt. I don't have control over the XML per se, but I was able to change "HR & Hiring" to "HR and Hiring" to avoid that problem. It did not help me though.
Still I get nothing.
This is part of the Ektron CMS - recall that we had some problems with this before where the XML wasn't "really" XML but was text instead. I fear the same thing is happening here because I am using the same "Ektron server control". With the previous problem, you created strings that we then used instead of the XML tags.

See previous problem here

I see, the XSLT declaration states the XSLT version 2.0

I don't know can that be a reason on not, but could you try to change the first two lines from

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes" method="xhtml"/>

to

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes" method="html"/>

and then see if the output changes?

thanks zc2 ...
that does not make any difference.

Gertone (Geert Bormans)

so, let's use the same thrick as before then.

Can you replace the XSLT with the below one and show us the result you get?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    version="1.0">
    <xsl:template match="node()">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

let's go from the suspicion that indeed your <TaxonomyItemTeaser> is a text block instead of a html block

And here would be the solution if all were text nodes.
I assumed XSLT1, because Ektron has msxml

    <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes" method="xhtml"/>
    
    
    
    <xsl:template match="TaxonomyData">
        <h1 class="nps_costsavings">

        </h1>
        <p>
            <em>These are the cost savings programs in this category. If you don't see any programs listed here, it means there are none in this category that are available to you.</em>
        </p>

Gertrone: You have suggested four different variations for the xsl file. I am doing them in order.

The first one:

Displays the XML on the screen. I did a view source and copy/pasted it into an xml file in Visual Studio so it is formatted. That file is attached here.

XMLFile2.xml

Here is a screen shot from the second suggestion (I've added a couple more items to the taxonomy since yesterday ...)

Screen shot from third suggestion ...

Screen-shot-third-suggestion.png

Gertone (Geert Bormans)

yeah, I could not be stopped :-)
The second one proves it all.... it are indeed txt nodes, not child elements
(good catch, thinking about the Ektron issue again)

So, well that means that the third and fourth stylesheet are on the right track.
You can simply use the fourth one, it will do what you need it to do

Excellent!

Oops ...one small problem ...
If there is a space before (or after?) the image tag, the image gets displayed twice ... once with the separate img tag in the xsl, and once as part of the paragraph ... so it's not getting stripped out of the <p> tag. Because of the horrible editor in Ektron, extra spaces get put in all over the place (mostly between consecutive tags) and the user has no control over it.
Do you have a slight "tweak" for this anomaly?
Thanks.

I assumed there was only one img and that it was at the beginning of the p

line 90
<xsl:when test="$p-content and not(starts-with($p-content, '<img'))">

should be
<xsl:when test="$p-content and not(contains($p-content, '<img'))">

it will work

Hi Alicia,

Try to stop me!

I figured out that also the   is not a character but an expanded string in the string version of the html,
so my stylesheet would not work if you had a " " in there
(I started looking into it since I was intrigued by the fact that the image stuff did not work)

You need some further recursive processing for getting rid of that character too
