how to create an xslt to do identity transform

[David Chen]

Hi, there:
I'm a new bee to xslt. My question is: how can I create an xslt file to do identity trnsform on an xml file? (which means I have an xml file test.xml, I want to create an xslt file apply on test.xml, which will generate another xml file test2.xml, however test2.xml and test.xml are identical. please don't tell me I can copy it, I need an xslt to do that).
Thanks a lot in advance
David
