You just need to add another template to match the 'filling' tags.
Then when apply templates is used, it will find the most specific
template for a particular node.
so just add this to your identity transform
<xsl:template match="filling"/>

Hello all.
Here is a predicament. I'm sure, given the right knowledge, that it is
simple. Lacking that knowledge, I'm finding it bloody hard!
For the sake of argument... I have a datastructure like :
<gui>
<filling>
</filling>
.
.
.<---- lots of other stuff
.
</gui>
I would like to copy everything in the gui tags, so I use copy-of. However, I
would like to EXCLUDE the <filling> tags.
I assumed that this would involve some derivative of the identity function,
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'
version="1.0" >
<xsl:template match="@*|*|processing-instruction()|comment()|text()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="*|@*|text()|processing-instruction()|comment()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
where it would use an "if" clause before the inner apply-templates to prevent
recursion whenever it was "about to" copy a filling tag. This "about to" is
causing me problems. How does the algorithm tell what node it's currently in?
If I use value-of then it returns the content of that node.
Would such an "if" statement approach then be the best way to tackle the
problem?
My apologies if this is a trivial and obvious problem.
Kindest Regards,
Ben
