RE: gathering entities when transforming

I left out the processing instructions to save space. Here is a stylesheet that does what you ask for.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8" />
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*" />

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates />
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="diagnosticwp">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:for-each select="@*">
        <xsl:copy />
      </xsl:for-each>
      <xsl:apply-templates />
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="statemanipulation">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates />
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="string">
    <expression>
      <xsl:copy-of select="." />
    </expression>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Subject:   gathering entities when transforming

I have an XML file that I need to add another layer of elements to.  The
XML currently is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--ArborText, Inc., 1988-2002, v.4002-->
<!DOCTYPE diagnosticwp SYSTEM
"Production_Rev_3061_MIL-STD-40051-2361C.dtd"[
<!ENTITY obj.5  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\CHORD.wmf" NDATA WMF>
<!ENTITY obj.6  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\R2e8801.wmf" NDATA
WMF>
<!ENTITY obj.7  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\R2e8802.wmf" NDATA
WMF>
<!ENTITY obj.8  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\R2e8801.wmf" NDATA
WMF>
<!ENTITY obj.9  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\R2e8802.wmf" NDATA
WMF>
<!ENTITY obj.10  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\R2e8803.wmf" NDATA
WMF>
]>
<?Pub Inc?>
<diagnosticwp wpno="e88-20">
<statemanipulation>
<string>foobar</string>
</statemanipulation>
</diagnosticwp>
..

What I want is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--ArborText, Inc., 1988-2002, v.4002-->
<!DOCTYPE diagnosticwp SYSTEM
"Production_Rev_3061_MIL-STD-40051-2361C.dtd"[
<!ENTITY obj.5  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\CHORD.wmf" NDATA WMF>
<!ENTITY obj.6  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\R2e8801.wmf" NDATA
WMF>
<!ENTITY obj.7  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\R2e8802.wmf" NDATA
WMF>
<!ENTITY obj.8  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\R2e8801.wmf" NDATA
WMF>
<!ENTITY obj.9  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\R2e8802.wmf" NDATA
WMF>
<!ENTITY obj.10  SYSTEM "G:\EMS2\FMTV20\GRAPHICS\E\R2e8803.wmf" NDATA
WMF>
]>
<?Pub Inc?>
<diagnosticwp wpno="e88-20">
<statemanipulation>
<expression>                                   <<<< new tag
<string>foobar</string>
</expression>
</statemanipulation>
</diagnosticwp>
..

How do I get the entities in my new file?  If I do a copy-of the root,
I'll get the entire file won't I?  Just using the copy is giving me:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--ArborText, Inc., 1988-2002, v.4002-->
<!DOCTYPE diagnosticwp SYSTEM
"Production_Rev_3061_MIL-STD-40051-2361C.dtd">
<?Pub Inc?>
<diagnosticwp wpno="e88-20">
<statemanipulation>
<expression>
<string>foobar</string>
</expression>
</statemanipulation>
</diagnosticwp>
..

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Carolyn
