Re: how to remove a "wrapper" element?

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

Hi.

My xml (as mentioned is posts of yore) uses the following basic structure:

<process_steps>
   <step/>
       <step/>
   <step/>
</process_steps>

To make authoring easier, the powers that be have added a "wrapper" element
to the dtd/xml structure as follows:

<process_steps>
   <step>
      <substeps>
          <step/>
          <step/>
      </substeps>
   </step>
</process_steps>

I've been using a stylesheet (built from much input from this list,
especially Americo), that serves everything up in a very nice table,
numbered outline, indented, etc.

QUESTION:  How would I apply a template to remove the <substeps> element
BEFORE the <steps> are used in the table structure so that it doesn't throw
everything off?
