You can write an empty template for each element you wish to ignore.
If you wish to ignore all <b> elements your template would be:

<xsl:template match="b">
</xsl:template>


then you only need to apply all templates to the <description> element:

<xsl:template match="description">
	<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
