Here's the piece of code from the Genshi template file :<br> <py:match path="body" once="true" buffer="false"><body><br> ${select('*|text()')}<br> </body> </py:match><br> <br> The above code is just instructing the template engine to *select* the text content of node "body" from the XHTML streams. That's the one I was asking actually. There's a difference between Genshi and PLT scheme web template from my point of view , the former separates the template macros and the real content streams ,while the latter combines the template macros (S-expressions) with the content. As suggested by Jay, I could use SXML/SXPATH library to parse the XHTML content and select those nodes which I'm interested in. Yeah, this is possible , but I havn't used that yet, on a quick read of its tutorial (<a href="http://modis.ispras.ru/Lizorkin/sxml-tutorial.html" target="_blank">http://modis.ispras.ru/Lizorkin/sxml-tutorial.html</a>) , I probably need to obtain a SXML representation of a document which means the template file should be expanded first (using @include-template) and then parse it using SXML parser into a SXML document before I can use SXPath on it, am I right ? Or is there a way to do it in template file itself ? Thanks.<br></div></blockquote><div><br>You need to convert the xml string generated by include-template into sxml in order to use sxpath, i.e., <br><br>(require (planet lizorkin/sxml) (planet lizorkin/ssax/ssax) web-server/templates) <br> ((sxpath ...) (ssax:xml->sxml (open-input-string ((include-template "template.html") ...)))) <br><br>Cheers,<br>yc<br></div></div>
