Note that if A is the document element, then the result will not be a well-formed XML document. e.g. the tree: / | A / \ B C Cannot be transformed into anything sensible - the document node cannot have a sibling. I presume you want to limit A to being a child of an element. In which case you want a template something like: <xsl:template match="*[child::A]"> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> <xsl:copy-of select="A"/> </xsl:template> Is A also to be only an element, or can it be some other kind of node? If you can have A's nested as descendants of A's, then it will be more complicated. -- Colin Paul Adams Preston Lancashire
