Replacing elements

miroslaw.rusin · Jun 21, 2006

Hi mates!

The challange is like this: how to replace only one element in the
whole tree to something else?

Example:

Input:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
 something</ul> 
</body>
</html>

into:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
 something</ul> 
</body>
</html>

( -> ) ?

<xsl:template match="b">

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

</xsl:template>
then you need the identity transformation for the rest
<xsl:template match="@* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Problem solved. The trick is to simply use:

<xsl:element name="{name()}">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:element>

That isn't namespace-sensitive. You want to set the namespace URI as
well. At which point, you've essentially reinvented xsl:copy.

You also probably need to copy attributes.

Martin's answer is a cleaner one.
