Re: following-sibling on attributes

Dimitre, are you sure that these lines in your reply

        <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:value-of select=".."/>
          </xsl:otherwise>

shouldn't be

<xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:otherwise>

Yes, I am definitely, absolutely sure. In this case (and typically) I do
not post untested and not working code.

What problem do you see with this code?

Didn't you run the transformation to see that it produces the wanted
result?

    <xsl:template match="IPS:TEXT">
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="@*">
                <xsl:call-template name="TEXT_ATTRIBUTE_TO_ELEMENT">
                    <xsl:with-param name="attList" select="@*"/>
                </xsl:call-template>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:template>
