Re: [xsl] flattening an xml hierarchy

[Evan Lenz <evan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a very simple modified identity transform:

<!-- Copy everything unchanged... -->
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
 <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:template>

<!-- ...except for these elements -->
<xsl:template match="Dontwant1 | dontwant2">
 <xsl:apply-templates/>  <!-- Just process their contents -->
</xsl:template>
