Re: delete a node

> how ca i delete the   empty element <xxx></xxx> from the following list:

well by default elements are not copied to the result tree, so you don't
have to delete them, just not copy them.  How you should not copy them
depends on how you are currently copying them, which you don't show, but
some examples:

Copy all non-empty xxx's

<xsl:copy-of select="xxx[node()]"/>

or

apply templates to all xxx with a non-white string value


<xsl:apply-templates select="xxx[normalize-space(.)]"/>


or apply templates to everything

<xsl:apply-templates/>

but don't do anything with xxx that are empty

<xsl:template match="node[node()]"/>

....
