Subject: only embedding start tags using xsl:call template

Hi All

I have a scenario where in I need to embed all my current xml rendered from a xsl in a new tag.

I already have a xsl in place which is something like this

*********************************************
<xsl:template match="arts">

<tag1>
blah blah
</tag1>

<tag2>
blah blah
</tag2>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="article">

<tag11>
blah blah
</tag11>

<tag22>
blah blah
</tag22>

</xsl:template>
*********************************************

and many more such xsl:template match in 1 single xsl file.

Now I have to embed each of these xsl:template output in a <parent id = "11"> & close with </parent> tag.

So I want to create something like this
**************************************
<xsl:template name="parentstart" match="parentstart">

<parent id = "11"> 

</xsl:template>
***************************************
and

**************************************
<xsl:template name="parentend" match="parentend">

</parent>

</xsl:template>
***************************************

I plan to interspere parent call templates at the beginning & end of each tempate match so the xsl would look like this

*********************************************
<xsl:template match="arts">

<xsl:call-template name="parentstart">
</xsl:call-template>

<tag1>
blah blah
</tag1>

<tag2>
blah blah
</tag2>

<xsl:call-template name="parentend">
</xsl:call-template>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="article">

<xsl:call-template name="parentstart">
</xsl:call-template>

<tag11>
blah blah
</tag11>

<tag22>
blah blah
</tag22>

<xsl:call-template name="parentend">
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
*********************************************

So the final xml output rendered from this xsl should look like

-------------------------------------------------------------

<parent id = "11">
<tag1>
blah blah
</tag1>

<tag2>
blah blah
</tag2>
</parent>
-------------------------------------------------------------

I tried to execute the same but i am encountering TransformationException tag1 is not allowed in this position in the stylesheet.
If I remove the call templates & hard code the parent tags it works fine.

Do let me know your suggestions on the same

You can't have an XSLT that starts an element in a template and closes it in a different template, unless you just generate that as pure text.

If you want to keep a structure similar to what you have started, you can do something like:

<xsl:template match="arts">
<xsl:call-template name="wrapper">
<xsl:with-param name="content">
<tag1>
blah blah
</tag1>
<tag2>
blah blah>
</tag2>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="wrapper">
<xsl:param name="content"/>
<parent id="11">
<xsl:copy-of select="$content"/>
</parent>
</xsl:template>
