Hi there!
There is probably some XLST foo out there that does what you want. I’d like to suggest an other approach. Have a look at "Xpointers" for the x:include element. The attribute "xpointer" on that element defines an xpath _expression_ (kind of) that is used to select only parts of the document you want to include.

See e.g. "Selecting part of a file". However, your tool chain must support xpointers (not sure if xproc has suport for the full power of xpointers).
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I use xinclude to include certain documents in different books. In a certain context I want to use it as part in another as appendix.
I tried to remove the top level node with the following to my customization layer:
<!-- Remove all sections marked with wrapper -->
<xsl:template match="part[@role='wrapper']" mode="profile">
<xsl:apply-templates select="part" mode="profile" />
</xsl:template>
And include it into the books like this:
<part>
<title>Gerrit code reviews with Eclipse</title>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="" />
</part>
or
<appendix>
<title>Gerrit code reviews with Eclipse</title>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="" />
</appendix>
Unfortunately my customization removes not only the top level part element but the whole part.
Is anyone aware of a nice trick to replace part in some books with appendix?
Best regards, Lars
P.S. What I would like to have is the equivalent of the <merge> node for defining Android layouts, this node is only their to have a valid XML file, but is removed during the include process.
