Just override the identity transformation, for example like this:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="span/number"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When this transformation is applied on the provided source XML document:
<root>
<span><number>9.3</number> <code>protected</code> members</span>
<span><number>9.4</number> miscellaneous members.</span>
< /root>
The wanted, correct result is produced:
<root>
<span>
<code>protected</code> members</span>
<span> miscellaneous members.</span>
</root>

Hello,
Here is my input xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<span><number>9.3</number> <code>protected</code> members</span>
<span><number>9.4</number> miscellaneous members.</span>
</root>
Here is the desired output:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<span> <code>protected</code> members</span>
<span> miscellaneous members.</span>
</root>
I want to output all of the elements and text of the original <span> element,
but without the <number> element. I am using this for my xsl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="2.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/root">
<root>
<xsl:for-each select="span">
<xsl:copy-of select="descendant::*[not(self::number)]"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</root>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This is my current (incorrect) output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<code>protected</code>
</root>
Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.
