Hi! I have this xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root> <a id="abc"/> <a id="abcd"/> <b id="b1" ida="abc"/> <b id="b2" ida="abc"/> <b id="b3" ida="abcd"/> <c id="c1" idb="b1"/> </root> this structure describes a parent-child relationship between a-b and b-c. So I want to reformat this xml to get this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root> <a id="abc"> <b id="b1" ida="abc"> <c id="c1" idb="b1"/> </b> <b id="b2" ida="abc"/> </a> <a id="abcd"> <b id="b3" ida="abcd"/> </a> </root> This seems to be simple but here are the complications 1. the name of the elements to be related (a,b,c) must be generic. This means I would like to pass them via <xsl:param>. Something like a comma separated string for instance, I would pass to the stylesheet this parameter: a,b,c. 2. This can go to n levels. I could have a child for <c> and a child of the child of <c>, and so on. n = quantity of elements which has the comma separated param (3 in this case). I thought about using xsl:key in some generic way, but cannot get to the solution. It's much more difficult than my level of xslt knowledge. Anyway, help would be appreciated!
