Not to my understanding ... one would have to omit the template content to truly hide the element and have nothing at all displayed. >Thus ><greeting>Hello XSL!</greeting> > ><xsl:stlesheet> > <xsl:template match="greeting"> > <fo:block font-size="16pt"> > <process-children/> > </fo:block> > </xsl:template> ></xsl:stlesheet> > > would result in a styled text flow object, "Hello XSL!" > >whereas: > ><xsl:template match="greeting"> > <fo:block font-size="16pt"> > <!--<process-children/>--> > </fo:block> ></xsl:template> > >would not. But your example above would, I think, produce a 16pt high paragraph block from the formatter. Thus, though the characters of the content are hidden, the presence of the <greeting> element would still be visible. I would use the following to completely hide the element. <xsl:template match="greeting"/> I hope this helps. .............. Ken p.s.
