Having for example xml-structure: <rootnode> <node1><subnode1>..</subnode1></node1> <node2/> /node3/> </rootnode> With the path expression \xmlall{#1}{!node1} the <node1> should be suppressed, as happens in case. However, nodes under <node1> like <subnode1> should be suppressed because <node1> is suppressed. But that is not the case, these nodes do appear. Apparently I need another path expression. But which one? Hans van der Meer
