If I have a custom tag and I do:
<xsl:apply-templates select="mytag"/>
the tag <mytag> ends up in the output.
Only if your template rule for mytag puts it there.
Frequently this is not what I
want. Rather I want to skip that tag and apply-templates on everthing
enclosed *within* that tag. For that, adding /* appears to work:
<xsl:apply-templates select="mytag/*"/>
Is this the proper expression or should it be "@*|node()" or what?
mytag/* selects the child elements, mytag/node() selects the child text
nodes, comments, and PIs as well, @* selects the attributes. It depends what
you want to achieve.
But why not change the template rule for mytag so it doesn't create a mytag
element in the output?
