Just another question:
Assume a XML doc contains (sub)elements with no content like
<myelem22></myelem22>
or
<myelem22/>
How can I strip off/delete recursively ALL these empty elements
from the XML element tree (but keep all others)?
Add to a stylesheet with the identity template a template that adds
nothing to the result tree for elements with no content:
<xsl:template match="@*|node()"><!--identity for all other nodes-->
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*[not(node()]"/>
I hope this helps.
