Please try the following stylesheet:

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

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

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

<xsl:template match="listitem[formatinfo and
not(*[not(self::formatinfo)]) and (normalize-space() = '')]" />

</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi there,

I have an XML file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<funnylist>
   <listitem>
       <formatinfo color="yellow" />
       <stuffinside>Info</stuffinside> MoreInfo
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
       <formatinfo color="blue" />
   </listitem>
   <listitem>
       <formatinfo color="red" />EvenMoreInfo
   </listitem>
</funnylist>

I need to filter out this element:
   <listitem>
       <formatinfo color="blue" />
   </listitem>

The rule: if listitem contains only formatinfo and no other element or
text then remove it.

I have no clue how to formulate the xPath.
Help appreciated.
:-) stw
