You have gnm:Cells and gnm:Cell in your input, which is in another namespace then the default namespace. (2) There are many elements you do not match, the default template kicks in, which just dumps the text nodes. Solution for (1) Add that namespace to your stylesheet and add the namespace to your patterns and XPath expressions, i.e. match="gnm:Cells" and select="gnm:Cell". Solution for (2) Add a "delete-all-except" template to your stylesheet (there are many other options to solve this one). This will continue processing the nodes depth-first and will prevent non-matching nodes to output text. The priority rules for XSLT templates make sure that this template is called only unless other templates do not match. <!-- match everything, keep processing, output nothing --> <xsl:template match="node()"> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template> Cheers, Abel Braaksma Exselt XSLT 3.0 Streaming processor http://exselt.net
