<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:if test="normalize-space(.) or node()[not(self::text())]">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Good luck,
Wendell

My requirement is to remove tag names when I convert from one xml to another xml, if there is no data.
e.g
<F1>1234</F1>
<F2>1234</F2>
<F3></F3>
<F4>1234</F4>

to

<F1>1234</F1>
<F2>1234</F2>
<F4>1234</F4>

Is there any general method to do this, instead of checking node by node.
