Hi Aaron,

Hello...

I have a html document which is being transformed into XML and then being re-formatted as XHTML via XSL.

The best route to all that IMHO, would be some variant of HTMLTidy.

So far I have this, but all it does is make the table disappear completely.

<xsl:template match="xhtml:table | xhtml:TABLE | xhtml:td | xhtml:TD | xhtml:th | xhtml:TH | xhtml:tr | xhtml:TR">

BTW, elements in uppercase are not valid XHTML.

<xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="*"> <xsl:value-of select="@p"/>

Here you are testing whether child elements exist and if they do, output the value of the context element's p attribute?

I think you need something like

<><xsl:template match="xhtml:table | xhtml:TABLE | xhtml:td | xhtml:TD |
xhtml:th | xhtml:TH | xhtml:tr | xhtml:TR">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

This will 'skip' those elements and compared with an identity transform will do what you need.

hth,

Manos
