should do it. The "deep getText" will find all Text nodes, independent of the nesting of elements in the <a>...</a> element. If you then write the result into a document every thing is fine.
One small problem can occur when the content of the <a> Element has e.g. the form
<body><a href="#">foo<b>bar</b></a></body>
The resulting DOM then still contains two text nodes, one for "foo" and one for "bar". If you later search for a text "foobar" you don't find a node. The melting of adjacent text nodes can be done with
... (xshow (deep getText) >>> mkText) ...
Thanks for elaborating. This is just for display purposes, so hopefully it won't be ever a problem. I'm parsing somebody else's HTML, though, so who knows. I'll make a note in a comment. Thanks again.
