Hi, I'm new to both the forums and XSLT. I'm trying to put <h4> around anything that is inside of a "<smallheader>" tag. I've tried some different things, but I couldn't figure out how to "scan" through another tag to find every <smallheader> tag.

Use an identity transformation, and add a new template
that sees the element you want and emits it wrapped in
the other element.

Search on Google for XSLT identity transformation for
lots of examples.

Thanks, but I'm not sure if that will do what I want. The XSLT is being brought into a PHP file and I need anything within <smallheader> to be a <h4> html element. The examples I saw seemed to just change make new XML tags.

No, I think the identity transform is just what you need.
See attached sample document and transform.
