    copied!<p>Using XSLT, how can I comment a single node without commenting its children?</p> <p>I have this html:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div class="blah" style="blahblah"&gt; &lt;span&gt; &lt;p&gt;test&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>I would like this output:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;!-- div class="blah" style="blahblah" --&gt; &lt;span&gt; &lt;p&gt;test&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;!-- /div --&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>It is key that the children nodes are copied and any attributes of the commented node are also copied.</p> <p>The following is my best try but doesn't work. XSLT processor yells out: "Attribute and namespace nodes cannot be added to the parent element after a text, comment, pi, or sub-element node has already been added."</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" ?&gt; &lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt; &lt;!-- IdentityTransform --&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="/ | @* | node()"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()" /&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="div"&gt; &lt;xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"&gt;&amp;lt;!--&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"&gt;--&amp;gt;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/&gt; &lt;xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"&gt;&amp;lt;!--&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:copy&gt; &lt;xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"&gt;--&amp;gt;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre>
