RE: Copy all elemnts but one, not working

Great!  I'm glad to know that it is indeed possible.  Can you please elaborate
on the invocation part?  Are you saying that instead of excluding an element,
expressly include only wanted elements?  What would a sample select expression
look like?

Many Thanks!
Micah

Because you are excluding first-order children of chapter who are named
*imagedata*.  The only potential matches for this select:

> select="chapter/*[not(name()= 'imagedata')]"/>

are named *title* or *para*.

Try a pair of templates like this:

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

  <xsl:template match="imagedata"/>

Invoked by an appropriate select expression on an apply-templates
declaration they will give you just what you want.

HTH,

Mike
