Thanks David. So I have written.. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:element name="xsl:stylesheet" namespace="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:attribute name="version">1.0</xsl:attribute> <xsl:element name="xsl:template"> <xsl:attribute name="match">xyz</xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> It gives me output : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="xyz"/> </xsl:stylesheet> Which is what I need. Can you please comment whether the above syntax is the best way to start.. Thank you.
