Nicholas PeekeSubject: remove empty xml tags
Author: Nicholas Peeke

I'm a little new to XSL and is there a simple way in the XML-to-XML mapper to remove empty XML tags in an XML to XML transform?

instead of

A
  B b /B
  C/
  D d D
/A

have this

A
  B b B
  D d D
/A

Only testing if the original content is empty.

so for each element in an XML transform i need to wrap it in an xsl:if statement first checking if the value exists, there has to be a cleaner way.

Unfortunately there isn't an easier way to do that in the current version
of XML to XML mapper. We will address that and other issues in future
versions of Mapper.

Hopefully you don't add the xsl:if instruction to each tag that you are
mapping...

Try this









This doesn't have recurssion or anything of that nature, but you could add
that if you want.
This should do what you are trying to do.

If you wanted to make this a named template and then pass parameters, that
should work to.

Well, I don't know if this will actually work in the XML to XML mapper of
Stylus Studio, but this is valid XSLT.
