Re: [docbook-apps] Ignoring NonDocBook tags, take 2

[George Cristian Bina <george@oxygenxml.com>]

You can use a two steps XSLT transformation.
First run your document through a copy stylesheet that filters out a and 
b elements and then, in the second step, apply the desired DocBook 
stylesheet.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
version="1.0">
     <xsl:template match="node() | @*">
         <xsl:copy>
             <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
         </xsl:copy>
     </xsl:template>
     <xsl:template match="a|b">
         <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Best Regards,
George
