The not() function returns a boolean, not a node-set. In XSLT 2.0 (which you're using, judging by the error message) you can do select="* except (title|subtitle)" In 1.0 you need something like select="*[not(self::title)][not(self::subtitle)]" Alternatively create template rules for these two elements that output nothing: <xsl:template select="title|subtitle"/> Michael Kay Software AG home: Michael.H.Kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx work: Michael.Kay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
