XSL - skipping tags

[ma701ss]

Hi,

I have searched everywhere for a solution to this - I'm sure it must b
a normal thing to do, but I can't find out.

All I want to do is apply a sylesheet to an XHTML file and only outpu
the data enclosed within certain tags. For example, I already have a
XHTML document and I might want to apply a stylesheet so that only dat
within <H1> tags is displayed in my browser.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scot

You can do this with copy-of

<xsl:template match='h1'>
<xsl:copy-of select='.'/>
</xsl:template>

You'll also need to over-ride the default template for text nodes

<xsl:template match='text()'/>

and if you want well-formed xhtml, you'll need to include html and
body tags

<xsl:template match='html|body'>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

CSS has "display: none".
