RE: How to use xslt to transform xml to xml with added nodes

Thanks Mike BUT......

This is fine when the StringMap is part of the input XML. I cannot modify the
input XML. I must only transform it to produce the output XML.

Is there some way of including the StringMap in the XSL or can I create an XML
that includes the StringMap which I could import into the XSL along with  XML
that I am transforming?

You could put the string mappings in the XML, as a kind of lookup table.

<StringMap>
    <texti out="something">
        <textg>xxxxx</textg>
        <textg>yyyyy</textg>
        <textg>zz</textg>
    </texti>
    <texti out="something else">
        <textg>aaaa</textg>
        <textg>bb</textg>
        <textg>cccccccccccc</textg>
    </texti>
</StringMap>

Then you could do this, given string $textg:
<xsl:variable name="texti"
select="string(/StringMap/texti[textg=$textg]/@out)"/>
