Subject: [xsl] Copying most of an XML document From: "Trevor Nicholls" <trevor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 13:20:15 +1200 |
Hello Given an original XML document that I need to process in several different ways I am finding the job much more difficult than it needs to be, I think, because the file contains a lot of "noise". I want to use XSL to clean the file up in a first pass so that it will be simpler to process later on. Here is my magnolia tree - I need it copied exactly but I want to remove every caterpillar. Unfortunately it is infested with caterpillars throughout. Basically I want to do something like copy every single node, children and attributes and all, but whenever I find (e.g.) an <a> node I want to ignore it. If I could somehow tell 'xsl:copy-of' what to ignore that would be all I needed (but I can't). If I knew the full structure of the file I could create templates to match and replicate all the nodes I wanted to keep without losing any of their attributes, but sadly this XML has been generated by Framemaker (from unstructured original documents) and there is no document definition to work from. I'm hoping there is an XSL solution to this. Cheers Trevor
