Re: [xsl] Add an element to the result xml document

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg.heinicke@xxxxxx>]

Hello Lynda,

hmm, I are copying in the wrong way. From the root context you are 
copying everything, you should copy node by node. You can read at 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#copying how identity transformation can look like:

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Then you only need to add further template matching on <MessageID/> and 
say there, that you want to have it twice in the output:

<xsl:template match="MessageID">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Regards,

Joerg
