Re: [xsl] using name() to generate a tag dynamically in xsl output - FOLLOW UP

Thanks for the quick answer, Chris. I never knew to search there. Duhh.

So, my template would be ideally this.

<xsl:template match="word/../[@s_len&lt;5]">
<xsl:element name="{name()}">
	<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="@id" /></xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:attribute name="text_title"><xsl:value-of select="/*/@title"
/></xsl:attribute>
	<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Experimenting with it lead me to a follow-up question.
Altova is complaining about any axis or axis-like syntax in my match
statement. I have also tried word/parent::**[@s_len&lt;0] and various others.
My idea is to get any node the parent of <word> with that condition of its
attribute.

Use <xsl:element>.
