There are a couple of ways to stop having to repeat code in the stylesheet, which I think is what you're after. One way is to store the result of transforming the content in a variable, and then copy the content of the variable either with the surrounding container, or without it. Thus the code for generating the content is only involved once. For example: <xsl:variable name="content"> <dest1> <xsl:if test="not(@attr2)"> <xsl:copy-of select="@attr1" /> </xsl:if> <xsl:apply-templates /> </dest1> </xsl:variable> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@attr2"> <destC attr1="{@attr1}"> <xsl:copy-of select="$content" /> </destC> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise><xsl:copy-of select="$content" /></xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> The other way is to have the content be generated through the application of a template in a particular mode: <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@attr2"> <destC attr1="{@attr1}"> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="content" /> </destC> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="content" /> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> ... <xsl:template match="*" mode="content"> <dest1> <xsl:if test="not(@attr2)"> <xsl:copy-of select="@attr1" /> </xsl:if> <xsl:apply-templates /> </dest1> </xsl:template> I hope that this helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
