Hi Mark,
Please try this stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="topic">
<topicref href="{@id}">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</topicref>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()" />
</xsl:stylesheet>
Regards,
Mukul
