<chapter>
<title>Business Ethics and Social Responsibility</title>

<para id="1">Some content</para>
<para role="note" id="1">Here is a sample 1 annotation</para>

<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>

<xsl:template match="chapter/title">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:text>Business Ethics and Social Responsibility</xsl:text>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="para">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates
