Re: Newbie Question: Filtering Elements out of a Colle

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="shapeCollection">
    <shapeCollection>
        <xsl:copy-of select="shapeSet[not(ellipse)]"/>
    </shapeCollection>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

the output:

<shapeCollection>
    <shapeSet id="ID02">
        <circle />
        <square />
    </shapeSet>
    <shapeSet id="ID04">
        <circle />
        <octagon />
    </shapeSet>
</shapeCollection>

Hope this helps,

Joerg
