RE: [xsl] deep "copy-of" a source fragment

["Robert Koberg" <rob@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You want to get to the body and then copy the elements. For example:

<xsl:template match="/html">

  <xsl:apply-templates select="body" mode="identity"/>
       
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node()|@*" mode="identity">

  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="identity"/>
  </xsl:copy>
       
</xsl:template>

best,
-Rob
