Re: XSLT: Are XML Comments parseable?

I do understand what guys are trying to say, yet it doesn't work.

You have done something rather different to what was suggested.

You no longer have a template matching comment() so when you do
                <xsl:apply-templates select="comment()"/>
the default template will be executed, which in the case of coment nodes
produces no output.

Then you generate a c element node and do
                        <xsl:value-of select="."/>

. here is / ie the whole document, and value-of therefore produces the
string value of the document which is the concatenation of all
characters contained in any element (but not comments).


you want
<c><xsl:apply-templates select="comment()"/></c>

together with a template matching comment that does

<xsl:value-of select="."/>
