Hi,
Maybe this is a newbie question, but: Is there a way to output an
element's contents -- including contained nodes and free-form text --
without the containing tags?
I can imagine that this request might be against the spirit of XML in
general, but the reason I'm trying to do this is that I want to use
XSLT for simple generation of XHTML. Basically I want the page's
contents in external files, then I want to include them into a wrapper
of the basics (header info, site navigation, etc.) using XSLT. (Of
course you could also just use something else like server-side
includes for this but I like the idea of XSLT implicitly forcing
well-formedness on the documents it processes.) So I have an XSL file
that looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xsl:version="1. 0">
<head>
<title>My web site</title>
</head>
<body>
<p id="page_head" >
<!--- page header graphic --->
</p>
<hr />
<div id="page_conten t">
<xsl:copy-of select="page_co ntent" />
</div>
<div id="site_nav">
<!--- site navigation --->
</div>
</body>
</html>
and I want to be able to process a bunch of different files where I
know nothing about them except for that their root element is
<page_content >. Could be:
<page_content>n othing much here.</page_content>
or
<page_content>H ere's the list of every book I ever read:
<ol>
<li><cite>Ulyss es</cite> by James Joyce</li>
<!--- more books --->
</ol>
</page_content>
xsl:value-of strips out any contained tags. xsl:copy-of retains all
the contained XML tags, but it also keeps the <page_content > tag, of
course, meaning that it shows up in the final XHTML. Is there a way to
say "whatever's in this element, include it all in order, but don't
actually include 'page_content' at the beginning or the end" ?
Thanks in advance,

<xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
will produce all node-children of the current node.

Ah, that helps, thanks. Now all the elements inside of page_content
are showing up, but they're getting xmlns attributes. Instead of <p> I
get <p xmlns="">. What should I do to stop those from showing up?
