@Wendell Piez: Browsing right now, thanks for the tip.

First of all thanks a lot for your quick reply Joris Gillis!

I tried your suggestion, but it doesn't seem to work, and I can't quite understand why. I was scared that my template for the <reference> element was wrong, but if I replace it's content with a dummy value to test if it works, the page doesn't change at all!

Here's the dummy/test stylesheet:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">


<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

<xsl:template match="reference">
<a href="{@page}"><xsl:value-of select="text()" /></a>
<!-- I've also tried <xsl:comment>test</xsl:comment> and <xsl:text>test</xsl:text> as the only contents of the template -->
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
    <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm using Xalan (integrated with Apache Ant) for my transformations. Could this have _anything_ to do with it? Or am I at fault? I'd show the XHTML file that needs to get processed and the <reference> template, but their both quite big, and don't seem to have anything to do with it, since I don't get any warnings or errors.

Hmmmmmm..... I really hope I can get this to work, because it seems so trivial, yet I cannot get it to work.
