Thanks, Derby, this is a step in the right direction.

Unfortunately, it is not the only child of another node. In fact, there may be multiple <tm> or other children within a given parent.

This <tm> element is being used to trigger inline formatting during output processing. In this example, a superscript "TM" would be added automatically like AIX^TM. So there may be more than 1 in the same sentence, paragraph, etc. within a single parent.

Testing your suggestion, it certainly removes the <tm> child, but appends the "AIX" to the very end of the parent, as one would expect (and as you insinuated).

I am currently looking into the XML::LibXML::Document class. It has some methods that look promising, perhaps I can use a fragment or text node somehow.

Thanks for looking into this!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
