How to remove unwanted elements and attributes from XML file using XSLT?

As @DevNull has shown you, using the identity transform is much easier and less verbose. Anyway, here is one possible solution with for-each and without apply-templates as you requested.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
