Hi, I'm not sure I understand where you need recursion, but wouldn't this work: <xsl:template match="*"><!-- will work for elt 'names' --> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="nameGrp"> <name> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/> </name> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="@*"/><!-- filter out unwanted attributes --> <xsl:template match="@foreNames"> <fname><xsl:value-of select="."/></fname> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="@foreTitle"> <ntitle><xsl:value-of select="."/></ntitle> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="@mainName"> <sname><xsl:value-of select="."/></sname> </xsl:template> If you have many attributes to match and don't want to write all those templates for each one, you can use a key/map like this: <xsl:key name="dict" match="*" use="@key"/> <xsl:template match="*"><!-- will work for elt 'names' --> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="nameGrp"> <name> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/> </name> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="@*"> <xsl:if test="key('dict',local-name(),$attr)"> <xsl:element name="{key('dict',local-name(),$attr)}"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:element> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> <xsl:variable name="attr"> <attr key="foreNames">fname</attr> <attr key="foreTitle">ntitle</attr> <attr key="mainName">sname</attr> </xsl:variable> (This gives the exact same result as the first example, and makes it easy to add new values or to change values if the target elements names Regards, EB On Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 10:28 AM, Nic Gibson <nicg@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Good morning > > I'm writing a function to be used as part of a content conversion from one > DTD to another.
