Re: How to convert a whold result tree to a string?

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:text/>&lt;<xsl:value-of select="name()">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
    <xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
  &lt;/<xsl:value-of select="name()">&gt;
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*">
  <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
  <xsl:text>="</xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

Suppose I have a result tree like
<test>
<test1> kkkk</tes1>
<test2 attr="kkkk"/>
</test>

Can I store it in a string variable like <xsl:template match="test>
<xsl:variable name="str" select="string(.)"/>
</xsl:template>

So whenever I use <xsl:value-of select="$str"/>, it will output
the whole result tree as string.

Obvioulsy, the code doesn't work because string function only converts the first element.

any ideas?
