Re: [xsl] XSLT pass through

[Evan Lenz <evan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wong,

You'd use a modified identity transform.

First, you'd have the identity transform rule:

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

Then, you'd override it for nodes that you want to treat differently:

 <xsl:template match="targetNS:goodbye">
   <!-- do something different -->
 </xsl:template>

See this page on the XSLT FAQ for further discussion:

Hope this helps,
