It is very confusing.
While apply-templates works as you said, the problem i have is that I
want to remove the chars (), hence I tried value-of

I'm very new to this and have been struggling through basically
finding what resources I can on the net.
I'm reluctant to purchase a book as a reference as I understand that
somethings are not set in concrete yet.
With the cost of books these days I find it hard to justify purchasing
them only to find that it hasn't answered my questions.
Regards,
Pete.
