I am trying to convert one xml file to a very similar xml file wherein some of
the original xml elements have default attributes added (if they are missing),
etc.
As most of my elements/nodes are passed through unchanged, I am trying to
provide a "default" template that just copies the matched node through. To test
xsl:copy I tried the following "identity" stylesheet:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This works EXCEPT
1) input of, for example, <Text></Text> is collapsed in the output to <Text/>
How do I prevent this collapsing?
2) The original encoding and DOCTYPE information is lost.
Is there anyway to copy this information through as well?
I also tried the following variations with the same results
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{name(.)}" >
<xsl:apply-templates
select="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()">
<xsl:copy >
<xsl:apply-templates
select="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
