RE: replace xml element

Write a template rule for each element saying how you want that element to
be processed:

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

<xsl:template match="break>
  <br/>
</xsl:template>

You might want to add a default rule that copies elements unchanged:

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

or that deletes elements together with their content:

<xsl:template match="*"/>

or that processes the contents of the element but drops the start and end
tag:

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