Re: Grouping elements using XSLT

<xsl:template match="/author">
  <authors>
    <xsl:for-each select="FirstName">
      <author>
        <authorFName><xsl:value-of select="." /></authorFName>
        <authorLName><xsl:value-of
select="following-sibling::LastName[1]" /></authorLName>
      </author>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </authors>
</xsl:template>

Makul,
This worked! One other question though. As I'm doing this, how would
I change the name of the <FirstName> and <LastName> elements to say
<authorFName> and <authorLName> etc?
