Re: xsl:for-each in Corresp Tag

Hi Byomokesh,

You request suggestions but so far you aren't following our advice.
You have not even indented your code for legibility, as requested. One
reason this list exists is that all its contributors follow the list
guidelines, posted monthly.
(https://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/) Please read and follow
the instructions on how to ask for help -- it helps us to help you!

Moving forward, there is a deeper problem, which is that your code
will break on even simple cases, even apart from the special problem
of your <institution> elements.

For example, what do you expect to see as a result from processing this?

<corresp><label>To</label>A Writer, ;
<email>awriter@xxxxxxxxxxx</email>, <addr-line
content-type="street">100 Some St</addr-line>,
<country>USA</country></corresp>

Your XSLT will rearrange these elements. Would that be a correct result?

I ask this because if you aim to rearrange the elements in the output
(not just rename things), one approach is called for. If you do not
wish them to be rearranged (only renamed and grouped), a different
approach is called for.

Please clarify.

Thanks, Wendell
