Is there a way to modify the style sheet so that it transforms an XML document with empty tags as ?

I have extracted some code from codeproject to reindent an XML document. Does anyone know how I can modify the stylesheet to make it so that the transform of an XML file will result in empty tags showing up as <tag /> instead of <tag></tag>?

// http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/43309/How-to-create-a-simple-XML-file-using-MSXML-in-C
MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr FormatDOMDocument(MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pDoc)
{
    LPCSTR const static szStyleSheet =
        R"!(<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>)!"
        R"!(<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">)!"
        R"!(    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>)!"
        R"!(    <xsl:template match="@* | node()">)!"
        R"!(        <xsl:copy>)!"
        R"!(            <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>)!"
        R"!(        </xsl:copy>)!"
        R"!(    </xsl:template>)!"
        R"!(</xsl:stylesheet>)!";

    MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pXmlStyleSheet;
    pXmlStyleSheet.CreateInstance(__uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument60));
    pXmlStyleSheet->loadXML(szStyleSheet);

    MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pXmlFormattedDoc;
    pXmlFormattedDoc.CreateInstance(__uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument60));

    CComPtr<IDispatch> pDispatch;
    HRESULT hr = pXmlFormattedDoc->QueryInterface(IID_IDispatch, (void**)&pDispatch);
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
    {
        _variant_t    vtOutObject;
        vtOutObject.vt = VT_DISPATCH;
        vtOutObject.pdispVal = pDispatch;
        vtOutObject.pdispVal->AddRef();

        hr = pDoc->transformNodeToObject(pXmlStyleSheet, vtOutObject);
    }

    //By default it is writing the encoding = UTF-16. Let us change the encoding to UTF-8

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr pXMLFirstChild = pXmlFormattedDoc->GetfirstChild();
    // A map of the a attributes (vesrsion, encoding) values (1.0, UTF-8) pair
    MSXML2::IXMLDOMNamedNodeMapPtr pXMLAttributeMap =  pXMLFirstChild->Getattributes();
    MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodePtr pXMLEncodNode = pXMLAttributeMap->getNamedItem(_T("encoding"));
    pXMLEncodNode->PutnodeValue(_T("UTF-8"));    //encoding = UTF-8

    return pXmlFormattedDoc;
}

Or, if there is some other method for reindenting a MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr object where I can specify how I want empty tags to be stored, that would be great too.  However, I don't want it to lose its status of an MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr object. I.e. I would like to still perform operations on the result as if it was still an MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr object.

Thanks,

A
