I need help creating XSL file that will do the following transformations, and just copy rest of the tags as-is
---------------------------
From:
<w:p><customXml w:element=”a”/> </w:p>

To:
<w:p>
<Sdt>
<w:r>
<content ns=a>
</w:r>
</Sdt>
</w:p>
----------------------------
From:
<w:r><customXml w:element=”a”/> </w:r>
To:
<w:p>
<Sdt>
<w:r>
<content ns=a>
</w:r>
</Sdt>
</w:p>
Difference from previous I have to create <w:p> tag also in this one.
----------------------------
From:
<customXml w:element=”a”>
<customXml w:element=”b”/>
</customXml>
To:
<w:p>
<Sdt>
<w:r>
<content ns= a/b>
</w:r>
</Sdt>
</w:p>
This also have variations with <w:p> and <w:r> in front of <customXml>
--------------------------
From:
<customXml w:element=”a”>
<w:p> //or <w:r>//or nothing
<customXml w:element=”b”/>
</w:p> // or </w:r>//or nothing
</customXml>
To:
<w:p>
<Sdt>
<w:r>
<content ns= a/b>
</w:r>
</Sdt>
</w:p>
It also can have more levels and I need to transform XML accordingly
----------------------------
<customXml w:element=”a”>
<w:p> //or <w:r>//or nothing
<customXml w:element=”b”>
<customXml w:element=”c”/>
.....
</customXml>
</w:p> // or </w:r>//or nothing
</customXml>
To:
<w:p>
<Sdt>
<w:r>
<content ns= a/b/c/…>
</w:r>
</Sdt>
</w:p>

Sorry for the length of post, but I think it’s better to have more details

Try for the first one:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0" xmlns:w="http://www.what.org">
<xsl:template match="/">
<w:p>
<Sdt>
<w:r>
<xsl:value-of select="/w:p/customXml/attribute::w:element"></xsl:value-of>
</w:r>
</Sdt>
</w:p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

the rest are very similar

If I did it like this I would have to cover all possibilities. But I don't know how "deep" can nesting go, and I have to remember all elements from parent tags. and Also copy all of other tags that are not customXml

I.e.
<w:p>
<customXml w:element="a">
<w:r>
<some tag1/>
<customXml w:element="b">
<some tag2/>
<customXml w:element="c">
<customXml w:element="d">
<some tag3/>
<customXml w:element="e" />
</customXml>
</customXml>
</customXml>
</w:r>
</customXml>
</w:p>

Should become:
<w:p>
<w:r>
<some tag1/>
<some tag2/>
<some tag3/>
</w:r>
<Sdt>
<w:r>
<content ns= a/b/c/d/e…>
</w:r>
</Sdt>
</w:p>

In short, only deepest tags should be written, but problem also is that this is one of possibilities:

<customXml w:element="a">
<customXml w:element="b">
<customXml w:element="c"/>
</customXml>
<customXml w:element="d"/>
</customXml>

This should transform into:

<Sdt>
<w:r>
<content ns= a/b/c>
</w:r>
</Sdt>
<Sdt>
<w:r>
<content ns= a/d>
</w:r>
</Sdt>

<xsl:template match="w:p/w:customXml">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="normalize-space(.//w:customXml @w:element) = ''">
<xsl:element name="w:sdt">
<xsl:attribute name="context"><xsl:value-of select=Parent::@w:element/>/<xsl:value-of select="@w:element"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>

</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
