Re: [xsl] splitting multiple occurrences of an element within another element

Thanks for the help.  I forgot to mention in my previous post that doclinks
are not always directly under a document.  In fact they can be any number
of nested levels deep.  The code that you sent gets the doclink info fine,
but does not return @form or @unid.  Any other ideas.

Hi Brian,
 Please try the XSL --

<?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" version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/database">
   <database>
    <xsl:for-each select="document/doclink">
    <document>
    <form>
     <xsl:value-of select="parent::document/@form" />
    </form>
    <unid>
      <xsl:value-of
select="preceding-sibling::noteinfo[1]/@unid" />
    </unid>
    <doclink>
       <xsl:value-of select="@document" />
    </doclink>
  </document>
 </xsl:for-each>
</database>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Mukul
