Re: [xsl] Creating child elements to existing Parent elements

["Mukul Gandhi" <gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx>]

Please try this stylesheet:

<?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="/x">
 <Ingredients>
   <xsl:for-each select="Spices/Spice | MeatParentTags/Meats/Meat |
Vegetables/Vegetable">
     <Ingredient>
       <xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
     </Ingredient>
   </xsl:for-each>
 </Ingredients>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This when applied to XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<x>
 <Spices>
   <Spice name="black pepper" id="11" />
   <Spice name="ginger powder" id="12" />
   <Spice name="salt" id="13" />
 </Spices>
 <MeatParentTags>
   <Meats>
     <Meat name="pork" id="21" />
   </Meats>
 </MeatParentTags>
 <Vegetables>
   <Vegetable name="Green Pepper" id="34" />
</Vegetables>
</x>

Produces the desired output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Ingredients>
  <Ingredient name="black pepper" id="11"/>
  <Ingredient name="ginger powder" id="12"/>
  <Ingredient name="salt" id="13"/>
  <Ingredient name="pork" id="21"/>
  <Ingredient name="Green Pepper" id="34"/>
</Ingredients>
