Re: Attribute values to string/text

<xsl:template match="*[@dummy]">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
		<xsl:value-of select="@dummy"/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@dummy"/> <!-- to remove the dummy attribute -->

<xsl:template match="meta">
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="/article/journalcode|/articel/issn"/>
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Hello all,

I am trying to convert all the "dummy" attribute name to its corresponding
element text in a generic way. Secondly I also need to define elements
<journalcode>, and both <issn> to be appear as child element of <meta>
(though I've not tested it yet). Below is what I've tried to do but I am
able to pick the value of @dummy resulting into <issn type="print"></issn>
and so on.

Can somebody shed some light on it, where I am being wrong.

XML
=====
<article>
<meta/>
<journalcode dummy="CIJB"/>
<issn type="print" dummy="0269-2171"/>
<issn type="electronic" dummy="1465-3486"/>
</article>

Desired Output
============

<article>
<meta>
<journalcode>CIJB</journalcode>
<issn type="print">0269-2171</issn>
<issn type="electronic">1465-3486</issn>
</meta>
</article>

Stysheet
========

<xsl:template match="*|@*">
 	 <xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="name()='dummy'">
		<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:value-of select="string(./@dummy)"/>
 </xsl:when>
 	<xsl:otherwise>
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="text()|*|@*"/>
		</xsl:copy>
 	</xsl:otherwise>
 	</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Best,

Pankaj Chaturvedi
