Re: Null Values


Lawrence:

How about something like --

<xsl:template match="*">
   <xsl:if test="normalize-space(.) or node()[not(self::text())]">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
     </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="comment()|processing-instruction()">
   <!-- so that these nodes don't get stripped (delete if you don't want 
em) -->
   <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

?

(Strictly speaking, this does go node by node.)

Good luck,
Wendell
