xslt copy input to output
Hi Josh,

Try this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:copy-of select="/">
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Does it give you what you want?

If not, please explain how its result varies from your requirement to "[take] the input XML and [turn] exactly what was input into output XML". Depending on exactly what you mean by this, it may or may not be possible to do in XSLT. Examining the output of the above tranformation will tell.

There are other stylesheets that will simply copy input to output, but this is the simplest.

Cheers,
Wendell

Hi all -

This is my first post on this list, but I have been using XSL for over a year. I searched the archive and FAQ but found no answer to my question. I am afraid there is not a favorable answer to my question, but here it is. I need to see if I can write a stylesheet which simply takes the input XML and turns exactly what was input into output XML. I know that you can easily do this with Xalan/DOM code, but my system requires that this situation be solved by stylesheets so that no extra code is written. Is this possible?

Thank you very much.
Josh Hone
