Just another question:

Assume a XML doc contains (sub)elements with no content like

<myelem22></myelem22>
or
<myelem22/>

How can I strip off/delete recursively ALL these empty elements from the XML element tree (but keep all others)?

Two template do that:


<xsl:template match="*[not(node())]"/>

  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
