Toby-- Also, in the XSLT spec 7.5, there's a template-driven identity transform you could borrow (if you need something less straightforward than Mike's elegant solution below). It's what you would adapt if you needed to provide for some exception to your mimicking ("mimic all but the x elements..."). I'm not copying it in since I'm assuming all the list readers have a copy of the XSLT Recommendation on their desks -- it's not such a huge document, nor so difficult as all that. (Get XPath while you're at it. :-) Looking at 7.5 also illuminates a point we came across last week -- that attributes are disinherited, not being the children of their parents. Notice that the identity transform must specify <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> to get the attributes into the result tree. Otherwise, they would not be processed (the default is, only recognized child elements -- select="*" -- get invited to the wedding). Just in case: http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath Enjoy, Wendell At 12:48 PM 6/1/00 +0100, Mike wrote: >> wanted: >> an xsl stylesheet that mimics/recreates the xml it receives as input.\ > ><xsl:template match="/"> > <xsl:copy-of select="."/> ></xsl:template> > >Mike Kay > > > XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list > > ====================================================================== Wendell Piez mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com 17 West Jefferson Street Direct Phone: 301/315-9635 Suite 207 Phone: 301/315-9631 Rockville, MD 20850 Fax: 301/315-8285 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mulberry Technologies: A Consultancy Specializing in SGML and XML ====================================================================== XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
