I have tried it with something like:
<xsl:template match="section[heading/@name='Entwurf']">
<xsl:copy-of select="..">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="*|@*|processing-instruction()|text()"/> </xsl:copy-of>
</xsl:template>
...
But the parser (4xslt) says, "Illegal child 'xsl:apply-templates' within
element 'xsl:copy-of'"
You are on the right track: use the generic copy-through template
and override it for the elements you want to change.
Unfortunately, you missed some fine points.
The xsl:copy-of element copies the whole selected node set into
the output. The element does not take any children, this caused
the error message you got. Also, you told the porcesso to copy the
whole tree starting from the parent of the section, which is not
what you stated above as your goal.
If you want to omit the whole section having a heading with a
name attribute value of "Entwurf", simply write an *empty* template:
<xsl:template match="section[heading/@name='Entwurf']"/>
Yes, that's all.
