>> (Of course you get element nodes, not tags, but leave that for now:-) so when you add a temnplate for Name that says (just) that element should not be copied but instead just process it's childen, then Name is no longer copied. So adding that template hardly changed everything, it just changed the processing of one element type. But the output changed from something I could publish to something that would be very wrong to publish. And if that change was buried deep in the output, well, OUCH because we might not catch it. That's why I say XSL is fragile. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: David Carlisle [mailto:davidc@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2005 7:28 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Apply-templates - how to omit top level element tags? <xsl:template match="Name"> <xsl:apply-templates/> <!-- THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING! --> </xsl:template> well it does, but why the !?
