RE: [xsl] Copy all elemnts but one, not working

RE: [xsl] Copy all elemnts but one, not working | [xsl] Could not compile stylesheet message upon running transformation in java
& XSLT Great!  I'm glad to know that it is indeed possible.  Can you please elaborate on the
 invocation part?  Are you saying that instead of excluding an element, expressly include on
ly wanted elements?  What would a sample select expression look like?

Many Thanks!
Micah

>  image.  Does anyone know why this doesn't work?

Because you are excluding first-order children of chapter who are named
*imagedata*.  The only potential matches for this select:

>  select="chapter/*[not(name()= 'imagedata')]"/>

are named *title* or *para*.

Try a pair of templates like this:

  <xsl:template match="*"> 
    <xsl:copy> 
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> 
      <xsl:apply-templates/> 
    </xsl:copy>  
  </xsl:template> 

  <xsl:template match="imagedata"/> 

Invoked by an appropriate select expression on an apply-templates
declaration they will give you just what you want.

HTH,

Mike
