Thanks Brian. It's nice to know I understand something of this, anyway :)
By the way, I should add, just to let you all know, that I'll reference the
group in the references section of my submission. Copies will be available
(from me) on request - in case anyone wants to know the kinds of questions
students are being tortured with.
Cheers
Peter

yes <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> copies all the attributes.

Hi Bryan,
Hmm. That's a fair bit to take in. I'll have to think about that tonight to
understand what's going on there. I'd completely missed that xsl:copy copied
just the node and not its children. Looking again its explanation at w3c
schools I begin to understand.
Am I right in thinking that the:
<xsl:copy><xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
copies all the attributes? I'm not actually interested in attributes at this
point, just content, but I think I see where you're coming from.
Thanks to both you and David. At least I have some stuff to try now -
whereas I was fresh out of ideas as midnight approached last night.
As I said to David, I'll try to remember to let you know how I get on
Thanks
Peter

<xsl:copy><xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
I always prefer this way of copying, generally using a mode, on particular
namespaces or all elements. so
<xsl:template match="*" mode="copier">
<xsl:copy><xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="copier"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tag2" mode="copier">
<i><xsl:apply-templates/></i>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template math="anElement">
<xsl:apply-templates mode="copier"/>
</xsl:template>
so that everything gets copied with the copier mode, but tag2 doesn't and
it
escapes the mode. This is just a personal preference though.
