Quite compact for a problem description, wouldn't you agree?

Anyway, so the source XML looks like (guessing away here):

<root>
  <worksheet>ws_name_1</worksheet>
  <worksheet>ws_name_2</worksheet>
  ...
</root>

Let's conveniently suppose your output is HTML, and you need to create
hyperlinks for the worksheets in question.

<xsl:template match="worksheet">

  <a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="." /></xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:value-of select=".">
  </a>

</xsl:template>

would yield

<a href="ws_name_1">ws_name_1</a>
<a href="ws_name_2">ws_name_2</a>

Why would you need these? (unless, of course, the problem is totally
different from what I've guessed it to be...)


Hope this helps!

Cheerz,
