Symbolic links, in XML terms, would be elements from some other tree inserted by reference. XML doesn't do that, and if it did do that, there'd be a case for some kind of "is it really there, or referenced?" distinction. (Attributes, by file system analogy, would be things like mtime and ctime.) What you were describing, if I'm remembering it right, is wanting a result tree that was just like your source tree only without the attribute nodes. <xsl:template match="node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> does that; it's not recursive, it's a single template. It'll get applied to all the nodes, but that's the magic of the XSLT declarative model. -- Graydon Saunders graydon@xxxxxxxxx
