Re: Converting attributes into child elements

Here's an example from my book, taken from
the section called "The Talented Identity Transformation".
Hope it helps...

<!-- AttrToElement.xsl: Turn all attributes into subelements -->
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
  <!-- Import the identity transformation. -->
  <xsl:import href="Identity.xsl"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
  <xsl:output indent="yes"/>
  <!-- Match any Attribute and turn it into an element -->
  <xsl:template match="@*">
    <xsl:element name="{name(.)}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


The base "Identity.xsl" transformation, imported by
the AttrToElement.xsl stylesheet above, looks like this:

<!-- The Identity Transformation -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <!-- Whenever you match any node or any attribute -->
  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
    <!-- Copy the current node -->
    <xsl:copy>
      <!-- Including any attributes it has and any child nodes -->
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Subject: Converting attributes into child elements


| Hello All,
| 
| I need some help with a transformation.  I would like to take an element
| with multiple attributes and convert them so the attributes are now child
| elements of the original element.  See example.
