Hi,

I can do basic xml translations but I've become stuck when trying to restructure an xml document.

The document is in the following format

<model>
<root node name="example" ID="4" type="A"/>
<item>
<name>xyz</name>
<ID>7</ID>
<type>A</type>
<parentname>example</parentname>
<parentID>4</parentID>
</item>
<item>
<name>bob</name>
<ID>5</ID>
<type>B</type>
<parentname>example</parentname>
<parentID>4</parentID>
</item>
<item>
<name>cat</name>
<ID>10</ID>
<type>A</type>
<parentname>xyz</parentname>
<parentID>7</parentID>
</item>
</model>

Basically you have a model and all these items including a root item listed. I want to restructure this so items are contained within their parents such to this


<model>

<nonterm name="example" ID="4">
<item>
<name>xyz</name>
<ID>7</ID>
<type>A</type>
<parentname>example</parentname>
<parentID>4</parentID>
</item>
<item>
<name>bob</name>
<ID>5</ID>
<type>B</type>
<parentname>example</parentname>
<parentID>4</parentID>
</item>
</nonterm>

<nonterm name="xyz" ID="7">
<item>
<name>cat</name>
<ID>10</ID>
<type>A</type>
<parentname>xyz</parentname>
<parentID>7</parentID>
</item>
</nonterm>
</model>

Any ideas what the best way to do this would be? This is just an example of the format. Just a note that the original order and number of the items essentially has not order with respect to hierarchy.

Thanks in advance.

General XSLT questions are better asked on dedicated XSLT discussion lists, like the one hosted on mulberrytech dot com
