Question

I have a XML file with some 25 elements. I just want to transform 2 elements and retain the remaining XML. Could somebody tell me how to do. All examples online are modifying xml doc as whole, I dont want this. I just want to modify values of two elements.

Answer 1

A practical example below, where I parse an xsd file and remove all the annotations from it.

<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

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

<!-- but remove annotations -->
<xsl:template match="xs:annotation"/>
