Question

Never did XSLT before. Is that possible to inherit a doc and replace just one tag? If yes, can you provide any example please?

Thank you

You start with the template

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

then you add templates for transforming the nodes you want to transform e.g.

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

transforms all td elements into th elements or

<xsl:template match="h6"/>

deletes all h6 elements.

If you want to transform a single td then you need some way to identify it, assuming it has an id attribute use a match pattern like

<xsl:template match="td[@id = 'td1']">
  <td style="background-color: lightgreen;">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
  </td>
</xsl:template>

That sample sets the CSS background-color property of the particular td element.
