Joerg,
Thanks for your reply! I tried what you suggested, but unfortunately it
still copied all the paragraphs, including the paragraphs in the <div
class="mgronly"> tags. This is the XSL file I ended up with . . .
---------------------- XSL file-----------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:template match="*|@*|text()|comment()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="*|@*|text()|comment()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="div[@class='mgronly']">
<!-- 'mgronly' div's won't be copied -->
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
---------------------- XSL file-----------------------------------
Did I misunderstand what you meant?
Thanks again for your help!
Kathryn

here is a little error. It has to be <xsl:template match="/">. But this
template is not explicitely needed, you can remove it.

This stylesheet copies "all and everything". If you add other templates
mathcing on <div>, with a special predicate and do nothing in these
templates, those <div>s won't be copied.
example:
<xsl:template match="div[@class='mgronly']">
<!-- 'mgronly' div's won't be copied -->
</xsl:template>
