I've been playing around with it and there's something I can't figure out.
The XML is based of an RSS Feed. Here's a example of XML I am trying to play with.
<item>
    <title>Dinner at Chilis</title>
    <link></link>
    <description>
        [!CDATA[<div><b>Location:</b> Chilis </div>
                      <div><b>Start Time:</b> 4/21/2010</div>
                      <div><b>Description:</b> Dinner at Chilis </div>]]>
     </description>
 </item>
 
 Here's a part of the XSL I've been playing around.
 <xsl:template match="item">
     <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
     <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"  select="substring-before(substring-after(description, ']]'), '[CDATA[')  "/>
 </xsl:template>
 
 I'm not sure why it's not displaying the string. 
My previous code was like this:
 <xsl:template match="item">
     <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
     <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="description"/>
 </xsl:template>
 It displays, but I won't have control on how to select the specific text in the description tag. 
 
 It's something I want to learn how to do it. I'm still a beginner in XSL so my apologies for being a newbie. 
EDIT*
 Ok. I got it. 
 It displays only the first line though. lol. Here's the code I have right now.
 <xsl:template match="item">
     <xsl:value-of select="title"/>
     <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes"  select="substring-before(substring-after(description,  '<div>'), '</div>') "/>
 </xsl:template>
 
So far so good. I'll play around a bit more.
