Hi,

You want to get to the body and then copy the elements. For example:

<xsl:template match="/html">

<xsl:apply-templates select="body" mode="identity"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node()|@*" mode="identity">

<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="identity"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

best,
-Rob

Hi everyone, I just joined this list so "greetings". I joined because even after reading the entire http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N1930.html page on copying, and reading the reference on xsl:copy and xsl:copy-of I am still vexed by an annoying problem. I'm using XALAN through the ColdFusion MX implementation of their xmlTransform() function. I'm not sure exactly which version of Xalan that is.

I'm trying to deep copy [the _content_ of] an xhtml body element. I have users who enter arbitary HTML which I then pass through HTML TIDY which produces a nice well-formed XHTML document for me. I want to extract the body and store the content only.
