The forum has been very quiet for a while but Im still hoping someone
will be able to help with probably a very simple query.
Im trying to copy all the contents of an HTML file into
another file but
I get a duplicate <HTML> tag at the start. Ive tried out loads of
options but theres always a duplication of the first
<xsl:apply-templates> expression.
The reason is that you have:
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
..which copies the <html> element by itself (xsl:copy), and then copies
the <html> element, it's attributes and all it's descendents
(xsl:copy-of).
I think you are after the 'identity stylesheet':
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This is the basis for the stylesheet when you want to copy most of the
xml, making a few changes here and there.
Cheers
andrew
