¿how copy nodes and attributes with copy-of?

[visualedu]

hi, I have a problem, I've got a xml file that contains HTML TAGS. I want show this data like HTML without any XML filter. I'm using tag copy:

<xsl:template match=&quot; //show//* | //show//text()&quot;>
<xsl:copy >
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

But attributes aren't copied, I've tried use TAG copy-of but I can't do it:

<xsl:template match=&quot; //show//* | //show//text()&quot;>
<xsl:copy-of >
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Do you know how to do it? thaks for your support

<xsl:template match=&quot;/&quot;>
<xsl:copy-of select=&quot;.&quot;/>
</xsl:template>

the above would just copy the whole input file to the output - ie. it copies all of the children too.

i can't really work out what your input xml looks like but i think your template match might be overly complicated.

<xsl:template match=&quot;show&quot;>
<xsl:copy-of select=&quot;./*&quot;/>
</xsl:template>

the above may not work, cos i'm just guessing your xml structure.

I've already tried that:

<xsl:template match=&quot;show&quot;>
<xsl:copy-of select=&quot;./*&quot;/>
</xsl:template>

but the system gives me the following message

&quot;the key word xsl:copy-of can't be used here&quot;.

I don't know why???

(Thanks MrTom)

hmmm... what xsl processor are you using?

if it's IE make sure you've got the latest MS xsl stuff.

either that, or there might be a problem elsewhere in the xsl.
