I know it's embarrassing to post your code when you're a novice, but it's the best way we have to see where your misunderstandings lie, and therefore the most efficient way for you to get up the learning curve. This is a very simple transformation, so there's clearly something basic that you haven't grasped (which to be honest, is what happens when you try to learn by blindly copying things - which is the way that some online tutorials try to teach you). You can do this with a simple template rule such as <xsl:template match="date"> <date attrib1="{@attrib1}" attrib2="0"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </date> </xsl:template> That assumes of course that when you process the bar element you do the standard thing of apply-templates to the children, and similarly for foo. As for recommendations, whenever I have to learn a language the first thing I do is buy a good book on it. The 4th edition of my XSLT Programmer's Reference from Wrox comes out in a couple of weeks. The book goes to a lot of trouble to explain all the basic concepts of the language, as well as the detailed syntax and semantics.

This XSLT thing is killing me. Can't figure out how to transform my doc.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <foo> <bar> <date attrib1='aaaaaaa' attrib2='bbbbbb'>25-02-08</date> ^ <name attrib3='null'>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</name> </bar> <bar> <date attrib1='cccccc' attrib2='dddddd'>26-02-08</date> ^ <name attrib4='null'>BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB</name> </bar> </foo> into <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <foo> <bar> <date attrib1='aaaaaaa' attrib2='0'>25-02-08</date> ^ <name attrib3='null'>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA</name> </bar> <bar> <date attrib1='cccccc' attrib2='0'>26-02-08</date> ^ <name attrib4='null'>BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB</name> </bar> </foo> Can somebody please suggest the correct stylesheet? I am blindly typing mainly 'copy' or 'copy-of' in my templates and the output generation mechanics make little sense to me. The docs, comparing to other programing documentation seems hard to understand. Could somebody suggest good docs, please? Regards, Karol
