am a newbie i find the following xsl <xsl:1> (at a tutorial) which is supposed to be an identity transform... and the output of xalan <out:1> is not the identity transform of the input file <xml:> (ignoring the xml header)
how do i do an identity tranform ?? xml: ---- <?xml version="1.0"?> <a>Hello <aa value="a">aa <aaa>aaa </aaa> </aa> <ab value="ab">ab </ab> </a> xsl:1 ----- <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> out:1 ----- <a><aa><aaa>aaa </aaa> </aa> <ab value="ab">ab </ab> </a> regards kishore
