I am trying to produce a fragment from a linkmap XML which
will represent the linkmap as the user opens up particular
pages in the hierarchy. SImilar in appearance to
http://ecolore.leeds.ac.uk/xml/about/site.xml?> lang=en
I use
a page parameter to define which part will
need its child element displayed.
Then I intend to process this new accurate piece of XML via
another stylesheet in order to style it.
The problem I get is in preparing the first XML.
I have used copy-of, starting from the Current page, however
this shows all the descendants and I only want to show its
children I presume you can't use a predicate with it?
Then If I try using xsl:copy instead I am tying myself up in
a mess. Any chance of some help?
You will need the identity transform with a no-op template:
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="x|y|z"/>
Where 'x' 'y' and 'z' are the names of the elements you don't want to
copy through. Using your thought pattern this would be equivalent to
copy-of select with a predicate (which is of course not possible, as
copy-of select creates an exact copy).
