Hi,

Well, there are a number of possible approaches:

- keep the general matching template as is, and add an empty template in
which you specify which nodes are to be left alone:

<xsl:template match="name | id | short-description | ..." />

(I think this is your best shot if all of the source XML is in the same (no)
namespace, so the elements that are not to be processed have to be specified
on an individual basis to be able to distinguish them from those you do want
processed.)

- make sure the elements you *do* want templates to be applied to are
already in the XHTML namespace in the source XML, and make the general copy
template match pattern :

<xsl:template match="*[namespace-uri()='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml']">


Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Andreas
