How do I transmit the value of the id attribute in the XML file down to the newly created elements?

In your <xsl:apply-templates> you can use <xsl:with-param> to pass the id attribute value, and then in your <xsl:template> you use <xsl:param> to declare the expectation of receiving that value. You'll have to do this for all <xsl:apply-templates> instructions that will be triggered once engaged, which means you will have to override the built-in template rule for an element if that is one of the ones being used.


In the fragment below, the id is "something", so the XML that is generated should look something like this

      <p id="something1" c="XXXX">
         <p id="something11" c="YYYY"/>
         <p id="something12" c="ZZZZ"/>
      </p>

for the first case

and

<p id="something1" c="WWWW"/>

for the second case.

Once you have the id value, you can use numbering techniques for the suffix.


A broader question that I have is how to relate (or tie) the nodes in the main XML file when the context has switched to the lookup file.

By passing your desired value at *every* change in context, as I've described above.


I hope this helps.
