Hi Darius You want to use identity template to copy through everything. Then have a template which matches the ones you want removed which simply outputs nothing. The more specific match will override the general one. Something like the following will work:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl"; version="1.0"><xsl:output method="xml"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template> <!-- Default is copy all nodes --> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <!-- Except ....--> <xsl:template match="concept[remove]" /> </xsl:stylesheet> Note this matches any concept which has a <remove> child. You could be more specific with something like: <xsl:template match="concept[remove/@apply='true']" /> which matches your description, or any other condition you like.
