Franz,

xsl:copy-of gives a "deep" copy of the element and _all_ its descendants.

xsl:copy gives a copy of only the element in question.

See Mike Kay's "XSLT Reference" for details.

I hope that helps,

Rick Suiter

Subject:   copy-of question


Hi all,

how can I extract only one element in original form?
copy-of seems to work here, but I have all the other unwanted tags also as
plain text.
Is this related to the default rules?

  <xsl:template match="TABLE">
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/
  </xsl:template>

 Franz
