Is there a way to say "just copy everything to the destination XML, but any instance of <a></a> will have its contents replaced"? It is called "the identity template" and looks like this: <xsl:template match="@*|node()"><!--identity for all other nodes-->
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>In that template, the priority of both matches is negative 1. Matches such as match="a" have a priority of zero, so are higher. When you add more to this, the priority is .5 (more nuanced with XSLT 2.0), so is higher still. For example This is a very common pattern and I have the template as part of my unedited raw stylesheet that I use to start new stylesheets. I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . .
