RE: [xsl] Converting CSV to XML without hardcoding schema details in xsl

["Pantvaidya, Vishwajit" <vpantvai@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are correct, Wendell. I am using XSLT2.0.

Other than breaking up the strings, my issue is how to generate the output
xml with the element names generated at runtime from the field names in the
csv.

I was using xsl:element - but I was trying to achieve the above using
item-at and was not sure if I can use that function within the xsl:element
name AVT.

Thanks a lot,

Vish.
