Hi. Newbie here. I have an XSL Stylesheet that produces XML as output. How do I code the XSL sheet to add a Root Element to the outputted XML document? Below is an example of the current XML output and the desired XML output with the root element <foo>. Thanks.

I don't know wat your XSL looks like; but you can probably get whhat you want by adding a template rule like this:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:element name="foo">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
