Re: [xsl] commenting in xslt2.0 - input-subtree to ouput-comment

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

   I've been trying things like:
    <xsl:comment>
        <xsl:copy-of select="//section[3]"/>
    <xsl:comment>


comments contain text not nodes, so you can not copy nodes there, you
have to use templates (or an extension function) that serialises the XMl
tree into a text node.

so

    <xsl:comment>
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="verb" select="//section[3]"/>
    <xsl:comment>

and 
<xsl:template mode="verb" match="*">
 <xsl:text>&lt;</xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="namespace:*|@*" mode="verb"/>
 <xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="node()" mode="verb"/>
 <xsl:text>&lt;/</xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
 <xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

and similar templates for attributes and namespaces. (the archives and
faq list have several fully worked examples of this)
