XSLT isn't magic, if you have lots of rules you will have to write lots of code. But your rules above look just like template rules, so rather than writing lots of <xsl:if> statements I would write lots of rules. e.g. Rule 1: <xsl:template match="Sex[.='']"/> Rule 2: <xsl:template match="N3[.='']><MI>N/A</MI></xsl:template> Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
