RE: deep "copy-of" a source fragment

Hi,

You want to get to the body and then copy the elements. For example:

<xsl:template match="/html">

  <xsl:apply-templates select="body" mode="identity"/>
       
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node()|@*" mode="identity">

  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="identity"/>
  </xsl:copy>
       
</xsl:template>

best,
-Rob

Hi everyone, I just joined this list so "greetings". I joined because 
even after reading the entire 
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N1930.html page on copying, and 
reading the reference on xsl:copy and xsl:copy-of I am still vexed by an 
annoying problem. I'm using XALAN through the ColdFusion MX 
implementation of their xmlTransform() function. I'm not sure exactly 
which version of Xalan that is.

I'm trying to deep copy [the _content_ of] an xhtml body element. I have 
users who enter arbitary HTML which I then pass through HTML TIDY which 
produces a nice well-formed XHTML document for me. I want to extract the 
body and store the content only.
