    copied!<p>I have the following xsd snippet:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xs:complexType name="HighSchoolType"&gt; &lt;xs:sequence&gt; &lt;xs:element name="OrganizationName" type="core:OrganizationNameType"/&gt; &lt;xs:group ref="core:OrganizationIDGroup" minOccurs="0"/&gt; &lt;/xs:sequence&gt; &lt;/xs:complexType&gt; </code></pre> <p>I want to handle xs:element tags differently than xs:group tags, while completely ignoring xs:annotation and xs:restriction tags. When I have an: </p> <ul> <li>xs:element tag, I want to copy it.</li> <li>xs:group tag, I want the output to contain the children of the xs:group tags' tag.</li> <li>Any other tag can be ignored, I don't want it in my output</li> </ul> <p>I've been trying to use:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:template match="xs:complexType"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:choose&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="*[self::xs:element]|@*"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="."/&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="*[self::xs:group]|@*"&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="."/&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;/xsl:choose&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre> <p>I don't understand why this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:copy-of select="*[not(self::xs:annotation or self::xs:restriction)]|@*"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>...will exclude xs:annotation &amp; xs:restriction nodes while </p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:when test="*[self::xs:element]|@*"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="."/&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; </code></pre> <p>...returns everything while:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:when test="*[self::xs:group]|@*"&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="."/&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; </code></pre> <p>...never triggers:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:variable name="core" select="document('CoreMain_v1.4.0.xsd')" /&gt; &lt;xsl:variable name="AcRec" select="document('AcademicRecord_v1.3.0.xsd')" /&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="xs:group[@ref]"&gt; &lt;xsl:variable name="name" select="substring-after(@ref, ':')" /&gt; &lt;xsl:choose&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="substring-before(@ref, ':') = 'AcRec'"&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="$AcRec//*[@name=$name]" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="substring-before(@ref, ':') = 'core'"&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="$core//*[@name=$name]" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;/xsl:choose&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="xs:group[@name]"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select="node()[not(self::xs:annotation|self::xs:restriction)]|@*"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; </code></pre>
