I might be completley dumb, but I do not get over this:


<xsl:template match="//body/descendant-or-self::node()">

	[...]

</xsl:template>

The error I get is:

Code: Select all


Error in expression //body/descendant-or-self::node(): 

Axis in pattern must be child or attribute

If I use the same XPath in the oXygen XPath string input (upper left corner) I get the desired result.

I believe you're not allowed to use the descendant-or-self axis in the match pattern.
You might want to try something like this instead with a inverted condition instead:
<xsl:template match="node()[ancestor-or-self::body]">

Thank you very much. That solved my issues.
