Re: <xsl:copy-of> question

["Nikolai Grigoriev" <grig@xxxxxxx>]

My solution is 4 lines in 2 templates (not counting the comments):

<!-- By default, copy a node with all the children through. -->
<!-- Attributes are dropped; to include them, use match="*|@*" -->

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<!-- Processing of salary nodes is disabled for FullSecurity="0" -->
<xsl:template match="salary[/employee/@FullSecurity=0]"/>

Tested on XT, and did work.

Regards,
Nikolai

>Suppose I have the following XML:

><employee FullSecurity="0">
>  <name>John Doe</name>
>  <department>Widget Sales</department>
>  <phone>(555)555-5555<extension>2974</extension></phone>
>  <salary>62,000</salary>
>  <area>3</area>
></employee>

>the result tree.  The closest I can get is something like the following:

><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
>xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
><xsl:template match="/">
>  <xsl:choose>
>    <xsl:when test="number(/employee/@FullSecurity)"><xsl:copy-of
>select="/"/></xsl:when>
>    <xsl:otherwise>
>      <employee>
>        <xsl:copy-of select="//name | //department | //phone | //area"/>
>      </employee>
>    </xsl:otherwise>
>  </xsl:choose>
></xsl:template>
></xsl:stylesheet>
