This is the Identity Transformation
I like keeping it close so I don’t ever have to hunt for it again.
<!– The Identity Transformation –>
<xsl:stylesheet version=”1.0″ xmlns:xsl=”http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform”>
<!– Whenever you match any node or any attribute –>
<xsl:template match=”node()|@*”>
<!– Copy the current node –>
<xsl:copy>
<!– Including any attributes it has and any child nodes –>
<xsl:apply-templates select=”@*|node()”/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
from this XSL/Identity page.
