Re: [xsl] How to remove outer tag if present in XSLT

["Chris Papademetrious christopher.papademetrious@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, my examples needed parentheses for the "except (A|B)" due to
precedence:

*[A|B][not(* except (A|B))]
*[A][B][not(* except (A|B))]

And to restrict to <p> that contains *only* <p>:



<xsl:template match="p[p and not(* except p) and count(../*) = 1]">

  <xsl:apply-templates/>

</xsl:template>



Using "* except" is my favorite way of limiting to certain elements only.



To limit to elements containing A and/or B but nothing else:



*[A|B][not(* except A|B)]



To limit to elements containing A and B but nothing else:



*[A][B][not(* except A|B)]

<xsl:template match="p[p and count(../*) = 1]">

  <xsl:apply-templates/>

</xsl:template>



will unwrap every p element that contains p element and has no siblings.
