Filter HTML Tags in XSL

[Teo]

Anyone have an example on how to convert HTML code back to charatcter in an XSL?

For example:

changing: "capitol'
into: "capitol'

or

changing:
<p>Page 12
<p>
<p> CONGRESS KNEW PAROCHIALISM
would trump national security in deciding

into:
Page 12

CONGRESS KNEW PAROCHIALISM
would trump national security in deciding

I want to automate data entry into my Filemaker Pro 7 database, and I can get all the data, but it still has HTML code leftover. I used to write regular expressions for this kinda stuff in Perl, but am sorta at a loss being an XML/XSL rookie. Any help is greatly appreciated! I attached a copy of my XSL as it stands.

Thanks,
