Subject: RE: [xsl] Select entire XML doc
copy-of is a deep copy; it copies all attributes, child
elements and content
to the output tree. value-of only copies the textual content
of the nodes.
hth,
b.
Just out of curiosity, and because I'm learning:
Wouldn't the above copy-of fail to copy any non-element
children of the
root node? E.g. comments and PI's...
(He did say "the entire XML document.")
No. If the comments and PIs (by that I assume you mean processing
instructions) are children of the root or context node, xsl:copy-of will
write them to the result tree.
cheers,
b.
