Amazing, Mukul! How did you work that out so quickly?

Many thanks.

Hi Mark,
 Please try this stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

  <xsl:template match="topic">
    <topicref href="{@id}">
      <xsl:apply-templates />
    </topicref>
  </xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()" />

</xsl:stylesheet>

Regards,
Mukul
