Hello,

I am trying identity transformation which will also exclude one of the element with it's value. However, the template was not getting match and output xml file still contains excluded element. Can you please suggest what's gone wrong in the below sample xslt

sample xslt:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

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

<xsl:template match="oh"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>

input xml:
<ts-ut id="09" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">
<sr>
<oh id="1" x="b">{1}</oh>Dwnld Cter<oh id="2" x="b">{2}</oh>
</sr>
<tg>
<oh id="1" x="b">{1}</oh>
<oh id="2" x="b">{2}</oh>
</tg>

output xml:
<ts-ut id="09" dttyp="x-text/html" rstyp="str">
<sr>
Dwnld Cter
</sr>
<tg>
</tg>

Thanks.

The input XML you have shown isn't well-formed - there is no closing tag for the ts-ut element. This means I can't reproduce the problem, and it also leads me to suspect that you might have inadvertently omitted part of the XML source. The most likely reason that the match="oh" template is not matching is that the oh element is within the scope of a default namespace declaration.
