Transform xml to xml changing one tag.

Hi,

I would like to transform an xml document only affecting text nodes. My problem is that I can't seem to get the attributes to show up in the output.

Here is my stylesheet, you can use any xml document against it just include some attributes to see that they do not come out in the output. I am looking for a generic approach such that I could use this stylesheet against any xml structure.

Thank you for any suggestions!!!

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="title/text()">
hello there
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*">
    <xsl:variable name="document">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:variable>

    <xsl:element name="{name()}">
        <xsl:copy-of select="$document"/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi,

you need an identity transformation making template plus "refined" template for text nodes. I also included xsl:strip-space to avoid whitespace-nodes (if you need also to change all the whitespace nodes, you can remove it).

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

    <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
      <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
      </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="text()">
        hello there
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Regards,
Armen

Is this supposed to convert attributes of an XML element to an XML node?

I.E. From:

Code:

<VehicleAttribute type="VehicleType" typeid="12" value="Truck" valueid="4673" />

To:

Code:

<VehicleAttribute>
<type>VehicleType</type>
<typeid>12</typeid>
<value>Truck</value>
<valueid>4673</valueid>
</VehicleAttribute>

(it doesn't seem to do anything. the above is what I'm looking for)
