Subject: [xsl] Removing empty element tags From: jeff.day@xxxxxx Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2003 16:16:27 +0100 |
Hi I wish to create a copy of an XML that is identical to the original except that any empty element tags do not appear in the new XML. My definition of an empty element is: 1. It contains no text (whitespace counts as empty) and 2. It has no attributes and 3. It has no children I tried tinkering with... <xsl:template match="node()|@*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="*[not(normalize-space())]"/> ... but this also excludes elements containing attributes. I've been round & round this and I expect the answer is nearby but I can't put my finger on it. Can you help please? Many thanks Jeff XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
