Exactly.

Something like this?

>       <xsl:element name=3D"{name()}">

This part above will generate the meta-data searchable title.

    <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"titleproper" mode=3D"sort"/>
>   </xsl:template>

>         <xsl:attribute name=3D"xtf:meta" select=3D"'true'"/>
>         <xsl:attribute name=3D"xtf:tokenize" select=3D"'no'"/>
>         <xsl:copy-of select=3D"parse:title($title)"/>
>       </sort-title>
>     </xsl:if>
>   </xsl:template>


This part above generates the sortable title, with the meta-data field name=
d
"sort-title".

  <xsl:template match=3D"titleproper" mode=3D"inmeta">
>     <xsl:element name=3D"{name()}">
>       <xsl:attribute name=3D"xtf:index" select=3D"'yes'"/>
>       <xsl:value-of select=3D"string()"/>
>     </xsl:element>
>   </xsl:template>
>
>   <xsl:template match=3D"titleproper" mode=3D"inmeta">
>     <xsl:element name=3D"{name()}">
>       <xsl:attribute name=3D"xtf:meta" select=3D"'true'"/>
>       <xsl:attribute name=3D"xtf:tokenize" select=3D"'yes'"/>
>       <xsl:value-of select=3D"string()"/>
>     </xsl:element>
>   </xsl:template>


This part probably won't do what you want. First of all, I don't think two
identical templates are allowed, or if they are, only one of them will run.

Since the meta-data one has already been generated, you only need one of
these anyway:

  <xsl:template match=3D"titleproper" mode=3D"inmeta">
    <xsl:element name=3D"{name()}">
      <xsl:attribute name=3D"xtf:index" select=3D"'yes'"/>
      <xsl:value-of select=3D"string()"/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

This will work to output the title element as plain text (that is, no
xtf:meta attribute.) The only trouble now is that I don't think the templat=
e
will be called. So add this to your eadpath template, and it should do the
trick:

    <xsl:apply-templates select=3D"titleproper" mode=3D"inmeta"/>

Thanks in advance, and apologies for my mucky xsl.  :-P  I'll try to pick i=

Hey, don't worry about it. We're all learning here. I'm certainly no xsl
wizard myself!

Have fun,
