Hi
I wish to create a copy of an XML that is identical to the original except
that any empty element tags do not appear in the new XML.
My definition of an empty element is:
1. It contains no text (whitespace counts as empty)
and
2. It has no attributes
and
3. It has no children
I tried tinkering with...
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[not(normalize-space())]"/>
... but this also excludes elements containing attributes.
I've been round & round this and I expect the answer is nearby but I can't
put my finger on it. Can you help please?
Many thanks
Jeff
