How remove any tag from xml element in XSL.

lets say can we remove string start from <br /><a till end of element?
if you can specify what you need to remove, this is feasable
eg.
<br />
<a href="some-uri">foo</a>
...
would you need the foo to remain in <a> ?
eg.
<br />
<a href="some-uri">foo</a>

Do you mean that you want to strip out all the escaped html tags?
well, that is a bit tricky, it requires writing some sort of XML parser in XSLT1
consider this
<p class=">abc">foo<
pretty tricky to figure out whet is a tag in that string
I recommend that you have a second pass (new XSLT that removes the tags from inside a <p> element (and lets hope the html inside is wellformed)
Can you use XSLT2?
