Subject: Re: [xsl] How to strip off all empty elements from a XML doc? From: "Ben Stover" <bxstover@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:41:55 +0200 |
Hello Martin, your solution does not cover nested (!) empty elements. Lets think of the following XML chunk: <xsl:output indent="yes"/> ... <aaa> <bbb></bbb> <ccc/> </aaa> Your script will result in: <aaa> </aaa> ...removing only "inner" empty elements. How can I recursively delete "upper" empty elements as well (even if the become empty during the processing)? By the way: Your template replace the empty elements by (two) blank lines. How can I tell the XSLT proc to remove the blank lines as well?
