Question

I have xml similar to the one below:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Document>
    <name>SMTH</name>
    <Group>
        <GroupHeader>Some Description</GroupHeader>
        <Port>
            <ID>13553</PortID>
            <Name>Some name</PortName>
            <Number>PO1005</WorldPortNumber>
            <Section>
                <SectionHeader ID="63">General overview</SectionHeader>
                <PAR ID="59341" updatedate="19/05/2010 08:35:51">Important data</PAR>
            </Section>
            <Section>
                <SectionHeader ID="66">Max size</SectionHeader>
                <PAR ID="59344" updatedate="19/05/2010 08:35:51">Important data</PAR>
            </Section>
        </Port>
    </Group>
</Document>

I would like to select all the Port nodes including only ID, Name, Number and PAR children nodes (rest of the children node should be ignored). Result should be just a collection of Port nodes including those 4 children nodes I listed above.
Here is what is should look like:

Port:
    ID=234234
    Name=blabla
    Number=324234
    PAR=sdfsdfs
    PAR=fgfgfg
Port:
    ID=5555
    Name=blabla
    Number=ghfh
    PAR=sdfsdfs
    PAR=fgfgfg
...

Many thanks!

Somthing like:

<xsl:for-each select="//Port">
  <xsl:copy-of select="*[name()='ID' or name()='Name' or name()='Number']"></xsl:copy-of>
  <xsl:copy-of select="Section/*[name()='PAR']"></xsl:copy-of>
</xsl:for-each>

Hope that helps. 🙂
