I am attempting to copy all elements in my source xml file to a new xml
file using the identity transform. I have templates for a couple of
elements to make changes but I am having a problem with one particular
change I need to make.
I need to take a group of nodes (from the first para element to the table
element in the source below) and make them children of a <content> node in
the same position as the source.
I have attempted to match the first para in a template like this:
<template match="para[1]">
<content>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*"
</content>
</template>
the problem is that it grabs everything including the <notes> element and
puts it in the <content> element, plus the identity transform continues to
process the nodes (except the para[1]) and outputs them after the
</content>.
Can anyone advise me on the approach that I should be taking or guide me in
the right direction? Thanks in advance.
