[xsl] Removing unwanted tag content from xsl output to html response.

["Simon Kelly" <kelly@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am having a problem with a template to pass over some unused tags without
printing them out to the responce OutputStream in html.

I have the following xsl sheet (Very simple) and when I do not include the
<xsl:template match="*" /> I get my output the way I want it, but with all
the remainder of the xml as text at the bottom of the screen.  If I include
the match="*" template I get nothing at all.

Any pointers would be handy. (NOTE: All paths in templates are absolute)

Cheers

Simon
